Vintage shots from days gone by!

Dr Pepper delivery truck at the Japanese internment camp near Nyssa. 1942 - Not Oregon's proudest time in history. Neighbors paid the taxes and mortgage on a family's farm in OC while they were away, it was still there when they were released.

Famous words from Bondi
