Selling Grandma's and Grandpa's Property

 I love this stuff.  This is dated July 6, 1964.   It is escrow instructions for selling a couple of lots in Reedley, California.  A guy is buying them from Dad and, Dad's Sister, Olga, and their spouses.  So, I have to assume these were lots that belonged to my grandma and grandpa and this was after they died.  This document does not give address.  But, I believe these lots were located on 'K" Street in Reedley.  They owned another piece on Kleinsassor Street, which has since been simplified to just Kleins Street I think.  On the K property, I think this was the house Mother and Larry and I lived in while Dad was in the Navy.  I remember being in the back yard of this house, for some reason I remember clothes drying on the line and the end of the war was declared.  I don't remember much from that time, but I do remember all the horns in town going off, the sirens in happiness for the end of the war.  A quick story, Dad was once stationed in San Diego.  For some reason, my Mother and my grandpa and I, (Maybe Larry too) made a trip to see him in San Diego.  I remember being able to say hello to him through a cyclone fence on some base.  But, what I really remember about this trip is that Grandpa bought a box of cantaloupes for the trip.  I don't know what he had in mind for them, but somehow he forgot they were there in the trunk, and that car forever smelled of rotting cantaloupes.
