Chapter One: Here and There in Utah, 1941-46
Price, 1941-42?
My birth certificate indicates that I entered this world via Price City Hospital on February 15, 1941, early in the year of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Then, presumably, I went home to Pappy’s and Mammy’s place at 24 East 6th North in Price, Carbon County, Utah. Here are pictures of the hospital building (now part of a school). The home turns out to be a more complicated question.
Ogden, 1942?-1945?
When I was small, we moved from Price to Ogden (Weber County). Not sure just how small; the house at 2608 Gramercy Avenue is the first of which I have any memory. Brent was born November 19, 1945, while we lived here.

Sunset, 1945?-1946
Late in 1945, or early in 1946, we left Ogden for the neighboring “city”1 of Sunset (Davis County) and “Sunken Heights”, the house at 1809 North 200 West.

We didn’t stay there very long: before 1946 ended, Pappy had taken a job in California and we had settled in San Bernardino.

1Having some difficulty re-adjusting to the Western habit of calling every Podunk collection of subdivisions and strip-malls a “city”. The New England distinction between cities and towns always made more sense to me. Guess I’m just showing geriatric inflexibility.
