I am Doris Oden Darrow, born in the late 1920s in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles, California, known as Venice. In the 1980s, my grown children asked me to write down as many memories from my childhood as I could. In 1987 I sat down at our old Royal typewriter and began my first blog. It is reproduced here, as faithfully as possible. The dates are manufactured, as Blogger's tools only allow dates as far back as Jan 1, 1999.
Little Adventures
Little half-pint bottles of milk were delivered to Kindergarten every day. One time, I had a nickle, and I got to buy a bottle. I chose chocolate milk!
Mom took all of us kids on a hike clear over to the big "L" on the side of the hill below Loyola University. We climbed up the hill and touched it.
When the new Lincoln Boulevard bridge was being built over La Ballona Creek, Mom and all of us kids walked over there, and sat on the sand under it, and we sang Shall We Gather at the River?
