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.
Walking Alone
When my sister Rachel started Junior High, I was going to have to walk to school alone. I was really afraid. So, Mom walked all the way to Machado Grammar School with me the first day. Then, when I was on the school grounds and saw her walking back home, I felt ashamed, and ran all the way to catch up with her. She walked me back again. From then on, I had to walk alone.
