Very early photo of The First Presbyterian Church in Pomona, Calif, corner of Gibbs Street and Holt Ave..Built in 1907, the main church building was destroyed by fire in 1981 and was later rebuilt..This was the church that my family belonged to when I was growing up in Pomona..My mother and grandmother both sang in the church choir and attended the prayer meetings every week and never missed a Sunday going to church and also made us kids do the same------------

I took this photo at eleven years of age while the family was visiting Knott`s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif..My mother is on the far left and the two lady friends are looking into the jail at Sad Eyed Joe, who is actually a dummy figure of a man in jail..You can tell the person at the front booth what you want Joe in jail to say to your friend when they go up to the bars of the jail and that is why everyone is cracking up in this photo..Just one of the attractions of Knott`s in the 50s---------
