Summary
Tom Rivera first interviews Eddie Castorena, a native of South Colton. Castorena goes over his parents' marriage in the early 1900s then about his family. For example, he has brothers who served in World War II and the Korean War. Both he and Rivera then discuss the time spent as youth living in South Colton. They reminisce about the games they played as children and about chasing the dump trucks to find food or other items. In the second half of the interview, another interviewee joins, a man by the name of Armando “Ray” Sanchez. He then speaks about his time traveling around the world as an architect. Both Castorena and Sanchez talk about the sports they played as children as well as their journey in education. At the end of the interview, there are discussions of discrimination in the workplace. Particularly, remembering the “Whites Only” signs and being called stereotypical names.
