At Uncle Charlie's Holtz Ranch. I use to stay with Aunt Alma part of every summer. Ceta & Verna rarely went. I played with cousin Sheldon & the ranch hand's kids. At Aunt Cora's, I use to play with the Japanese kids of the orchird workers. They didn't speak English & they grew up & bought the ranches in Auburn. Sheldon & I use to go dances in their Model T Ford at Rock Creek.
