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.
My Earliest Memory
Our kitchen table seemed huge. Mom was washing dishes in the pan on the corner of the table, and I stood beside her, my eyes barely able to see above the table edge, and I asked her my name. She told me, "Doris Gertrude Oden."
