Welcome to the home of the TBR California State Chapter

Welcome, Californians!

I'm not a native Californian, but I've lived here most of my life.

I live in Southern California, in Orange County.

Nice. 3rd generation Californian from San Bernardino County.

Native born. Lived in the OC since age six.

Great grandparents came to Lost Angeles County, in 1928 as "investor-business class" folks from Minnesota, and 1928 stock market crash made them blue collar.

Father came in 1944 from Wyoming, to serve in the USMC. Parents met at a USO dance in Oceanside, California.

I grew up partly, in No. OC like Nixon. As a kid, the VP of the country was from my area. In 1966 my family moved to San Clemente, and two years later Nixon followed us, again.

Couldn't get away from Republican politics from childhood days. Oh, and the fact that the OC has long been a stronghold of conservatism. A lot of wealthy GOP donors. Lincoln Club, New Majority, etc.

Sorry for the infrequent posts. I'm traveling right now and have only my tablet, so posting is awkward, at least for me.

I should be home Friday.  ^-^

Native Californian...Grandparents immigrated from Italy in 1921. My moms parents died at an early age so she lived with her brother and sister-in-law and came from Tennessee. I guess you'd call me an, "ITALIAN RIDGE-RUNNER".
I've lived in the San Joaquin Valley all my life. The land of scorching heat and tule fog but this State has everything...beaches, highest mountains in the continental US, deserts...etc..wouldn't think of leaving.
