My grandfather remembers visting his Uncle Joe often. Out of all his father's siblings, this is the one he saw the most. He was a kind man. Uncle Joe and Aunt Dee lived in Sylmar, she cooked on a wood stove that probably also heated the house. They had car batteries on the back porch that would get power from a wind turbine. He remembers going outside on their property and looking for trap door spiders. -Summer Cooper
