Hazel reports that merchants are anticipating the surrender of Germany soon, but it does not come until May 1945. In this letter Hazel enclosed a newspaper article about a brush fire near their home in Glendale, about a block uphill. Their property on Mountain Street stretched from Cavanaugh Road to North Jackson street, with the house on the Cavanaugh side and a large patio and fruit orchard on the Jackson side. (In the mid 1960's Bill Nevis divided the large lot in two, built another house on the Jackson side and sold it. They sold the original East Mountain Street house a few years before 1968 and moved to Whittier to be closer to Leonard and his family.)
