"Doug" did everything he could to stop me from peeing the bed. At 7 he had me tossed in several inches of snow from this location.

In the Chapter "Kid's this is Doug!" I tell the account of watching my friend die. I was about 7 at the time. Here is an excerpt. "The front passenger finder caught my friend in the side; he spun as if doing a final dance move and then fell in front of the tire." The following photos go along with the account from the book. I sat under the Water and cried then when home and got beat for being late from school. I can't locate a current image from Google Earth of my house on Ave J. In 1976 it was referred to as Alta Loma, today it is called Santa Fe. Here is a photo from 1976. If anyone has time see if you can find a match using Google Earth. I do not know the address. From Google Earth it looks like they pulled up the train tracks, but the clearing of the Earth is still there. 
My house has been torn down and replaced by this. 
Pecan tree behind Grandma Smiths house where one lone swing survived.
