Arnold and Newlin: St. Augustine 1971

Hazel brought our cousins Larry and Kathy (Leonard and Lucille's two younger children) to visit us in Florida. (Their older brother Walter had accompanied Laura to visit us the previous year in Europe, so now it was their turn.) Arnie took Hazel, Newlin, Larry, Kathy, Andrew, and Eric to St. Augustine to see one of the the nation's oldest cities and the Castillo de San Marcos.

At Littlewood Elementary School, it was the tradition to send the fourth graders on a field trip to St. Augustine. We all — Allan, Joel Andrew, and Eric — road the yellow Alachua County school buses with packed lunch to visit the Castillo, usually with Newlin as a chaperone

Arnold and Newlin: Whittier 1967

Bill and Hazel decide that their multi level house in Glendale is no longer easy for them to scale the many stairs (seven levels, according to Newlin), so they sell it and move to Whittier, where Leonard and Lucille already live in their mountain-side home. (Before selling the house in Glendale, Bill subdivides the two lots and builds a contemporary house on the former grove side in very close proximity to the existing mission-style house. He assists the buyer with financing, but that guy eventually cannot make the payments, so Bill reacquires the title and sells it again.)

The new place was planted with a ground cover of oxalis in the front and back yards in lieu of grass. It was a good choice for California since it does not need to be mowed frequently like grass, but it was a surprise to Joel seeing a Florida weed valued as a California lawn. The only negative with oxalis was that all footprints showed in the oxalis, though I suppose it would have been easy to follow a prowler's footsteps.
