Summary
Tom Rivera interviews David Gasca and Jose Hernandez, two residents of South Colton who were born and raised in the city. In both World War II and the Korean War, both men served in the military and had long since become involved afterward. At the time of this recording, they are associated with veterans' resources and affairs. The topic of military service continues as Hernandez speaks of his brother who became lost at sea during World War II. The interview moves onto life in South Colton, especially regarding the kinds of entertainment at the time and long-gone spots. There is also talk about discrimination, particularly being segregated from pools, restaurants, and movie theaters. The interview concludes with recollections of the 1938 Flood and advice for youth to remember the struggles of the past.
