Summary
In this interview, Tom Rivera with some aid from Cesar Caballero, interviews two men with origins in Colton. The two men, Sammy Hernandez and Fernando Rodriguez are from different generations but have become close friends. Rodriguez begins the interview with some family history with Hernandez adding comments. Hernandez then talks about the store that was originally run by his family. Both men also discuss the times of picking oranges, the trouble of living in poverty and running stores in a low-income community. Rivera asks the men about the lives that they had at the time of the interview, to which they explain the family loss and the then-current family reunions. The interview ends with Rodriguez and Hernandez talking about the jobs they had in their lives and more memories they had as children in South Colton.
