Chuck Sargent:  

Born in Wilmington at 368 W. 321st Street I attended Catskill Elementary and continued when my dad bought the apartments at 24812 S. Avalon Blvd. At the age of 8 my mom died and my sister, Deb and I were shipped off to our Aunt Rose Marie's for a semester while my dad decided to find a new wife and a new place to live and we ended up at 162 W 226th St. in Carson. 9 months later my dad made his final move to 1721 Bardale Avenue in San Pedro. I transferred to Taper Avenue Elementary, graduated to Dodson Jr. High (1966-1969) and then on to San Pedro High. I can't remember why I didn't attend the graduation or prom. I worked at the Shell station on the corner of Western Avenue & Park Western Drive during my senior year where I became night manager. After graduation I started at L.A.T.T.C. I soon afterwards I felt forced to leave home and moved in with my girlfriend. Not long after that my draft status updated to 1H and figured I better join before I get drafted, so I opted for the Air Force to be close to a girl in Pensylvania (Debbie Bostdorf) who I never got to see.
