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.
Trading Sandwiches
In fourth grade, at Machado Grammar School, Letty Derus traded sandwiches with me. Mine was bread and Sandwich Spread—a kind of mayonnaise with sweet pickle relish in it. Hers was roast turkey with lettuce on white bread with real butter. I never forgot that taste of real butter.
