After I was born in Youngstown, Ohio we moved to the los Angles, California area and stayed with my mother's friend, Donna Devine until my dad, Hector the 3rd was released from the Navy from duty in the Pacific. I know as kids, I played with the Devine kids, and I don't remember any of their names, nor do I remember their fathers name, although I seem to remember he worked as an engineer, I think for Lockeed...
If any one has any information on this family line please contact me, I'd love to hear from you.......
