      I was born in East L.A. in 1938. We moved to South Gate in 1948 where I started the fifth grade at Bryson… We lived on Jackson Ave, just south of the park…
    My father had just started his own business on Otis and Firestone Blvd called Square Deal Machine Co and he became very involved in civic affairs through the Kiwanis Club...
    During my high school years I worked first for JJ.Newberrys in Huntington Park for fifty cents an hour, then at Bullocks Wilshire where I spent nearly every penny I made on clothes… After that I went to work at St Francis Hospital, a job I enjoyed very much as everyday was different and sick people are always grateful for what you do for them…
    In high school I was active in a YMCA club called the Vagabonds, Rainbow Girls, Ramblerettes and sports nite.
    My first marriage was for 22 years and we had 3 children, two girls and a boy… They have blessed me with 8 grand children... I have enclosed a picture of my grand children at my 60^th birthday party where one of my grand children put his finger in the birthday cake…
    I was a “stay at home” mom for 18 years and was very active in P.T.A. in my children’s schools… I was president three times and received a Honorary Lifetime Membership for my years of service… Then as my marriage was going on the rocks, I decided it was time for me to go back to work… I worked for two paper companies, Blake, Moffett & Towne, and then I went to work for Butler Paper, where I became salesman of the year, nationwide for them…
    Today, I am happily married to Hugh Edey, going on 15 years… We first met at our 30^th High School Reunion… At that time I had been single for 10 years when we met, and he was just going through a divorce after being married for 26 years…
     My favorite hobby is oil painting… I do landscapes, flowers, animals and my newest endeavor is people…  I have enclosed one of my favorites, a picture of a tiger…

      Now you know everything there is to know about me… Doris Edey
