Carolynn's Story
Life
My mother who lived in the same house, until she died this year, at 6733 Fry St. since 1944 when I was two. My granddaughter, Hannah Grant, went to kindergarten and 1st grade at Suva St. Elementary, my old school. We went to the Church at 6262 E. Gage Ave. since it was located in what is now cemented in Los Angeles River. As did my sister Arlene Benson, who died having a son in October 1979 in Conn. And my brothers Raymond and Skip (Alvin) Benson who lives in Iowa and Calif,respectively. Ray has 5 grown children and Skip is a truck driver, married to Donna with 2 children. ( I have 3, Laurenda 44,& Lee Smithson, 38. Father R. Lynden Smithson, also of Bell Gardens and Cinder Joy Grant, 2nd marriage ...Expand for more
to Chuck Grant. deceased 24years ago.)I currently own a little house in L.A.alone, except for my youngest daughter and 2 children and one on the way who is here since my mom died as she took care of her the last 2 1/2 years of her life. and my bro. skip sold the house mom had since 1944. So I am trying to help her find a place to buy, so they are just passing through. (hopefully) I am sad that the old place is gone because it was like, if anyone wanted to find me........well not anymore. Marsha, Margaret, Lyndens old girl friends, ha. So many memories. I relived them when I was driving back and forth from my moms house the last few years. I never see anyone I used to know, not even at the old Church.
