Really, he was trying to help. Knowing that he needed a clean paper trail for the money they’d use to buy a house, he opened a new account.

Kris and Randy Gruben moved to Tehachapi from Mission Viejo primarily to be near family. Their son, Josh, recently moved here with his family and I had“welcomed” them in April.

The couple had lived in Orange County for ten years but now is looking forward to the changing seasons and the beauty of the mou...

Want to do something different this summer? Maybe something you have entertained, in thought, but never pursued? Could it be a part of you would like to learn more about art? Say photography, oil, watercolor, drawing, pottery or animation, just to name a few.

Sometimes when reliving memories of years past I think of something that is just too good to keep to myself. My husband and his friend, Sergeant Major, Frederick W. Filkins, were what you would call "brothers in the Corps." Both served in World War II, both were with the China Marines, veterans of Korea and Vietnam. They often found themselves in the same duty stations during the thirty years they spent in the Corps. One day, many years back, when Fred was telling one of his experiences, I...
The year was 1976 and it was the bicentennial celebration, the United States of America was 200 years old. The young girl, only twelve, was fascinated by the big celebration in her small Oregon town. Sitting along the grass strip between the sidewalk and the street in front of the local grade school, she turned to her mother and announced with absolute confidence “I’m going to live to see the tricentennial”. Her mother laughed at her, saying “you know you will have to live to be 112 to see that?...

Annuities come in many different forms. There are immediate and deferred annuities, with both fixed and variable rates. However, whatever the type of annuity, all can be classified as either qualified or nonqualified annuities. And the distinction is easy. Qualified annuities are used in connection with tax-advantaged retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans, Section 403(b) retirement plans (TSAs), or IRAs. Premiums for qualified annuities are generally paid with pretax dollars. By definition,...

She is going through old newspapers doing research of an article. The old newspapers were located at the mine museum. As women did in that era, she identified herself as Mrs. Paul Deaver.
