From 1790s until 1950s my family migrated across the United States and eventually met in Salinas, California when Mr. Forrest Zimmerman, aged 30 met Miss. Laura Ekdahl, aged 27 and began a relationship which produced a male child named Terry. The story, as told to me by my father in 2023, is that Laura was a woman in waiting for her lover locked up in Soledad prison, 20 miles away from Salinas. His name was Johnson. My father was a bar tender working in Salinas and one night met Laura. My father told me that my mother wanted to be married for the sole reason that she had never been married before and so my father agreed and off to Reno, Nevada they went. Laura Ekdahl already has 2 small children prior to meeting Forrest Zimmerman.
Darrell Wayne MacGregory, born in January 1953 and Rebecca Hudson, born in 1960.
After only 6 months married eventually my mother threatened to kill my father so he left. That was 3 months before I was born in April 1962. Oh it gets better. My mother was a wild child in the 1950s.
