SO grateful for you bringing to us the history of your family and the neighborhood, city, and changes therein with your whole-hearted, all IN research, Karen, and for your writing style that puts us right there in Dayton Heights area of a different era from what we knew of it in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I hold the microcosm you describe ~ that vibrant, yeasty, diverse, and harmonious corner of the world ~ as a touchstone of hope that humans all over the world MAY recall - in our DNA - that we are ALL Earth's Children. Building peace and equity is a full time job. Thanks for your welcomed and much needed work! ~Melinda
Dear Melinda, you'll never know how much it means to me to read your words and that you took the time to write them, I'm honored! It's interesting that you should use the unusual adjective "yeasty." I hope you enjoy Part IV.

Love that you’re such a great person and that we have been friends for many years. This is a historical look of our community.
Our high school, Belmont High celebrates their 💯th anniversary. Known throughout the greater Los Angeles area as the Melting Pot. I appreciate having grown up here. We have learned so much about compassion and good will toward each other.
