I was between 4 and 6 years old during our time in Sanger. I have memories of going up to Shaver Lake also, not to forget Pine Flat Lake (I called it Pine Flat Dam back then). Do a Google Map for "1512 Fifth Street, Sanger, CA". The house with the light brown roof on the north side of Fifth Street exactly where "O" Street dead-ends into Fifth Street was where we lived at that time. If you do a "street view" pointing to that house, it will be a brown house with two large trees in front of it out by the curb. Not only were those trees there when I lived there, but they were pretty much as large then, too (or so it seemed). A block to the west, and then north 2-3 blocks and on the left, is Jackson Elementary School, which is where I went to grades 1 through 3 (skipped a grade there, which is how I did 3 grades during only two years of living there). There are many more buildings on the school property now than there was when I was going there. We actually got 1" of snow in Sanger one rare time during our two years there.
I guess I sort-of hijacked the thread; so back to your regularly scheduled topic after this stroll down memory lane.
