Otha presented a picture to me, Web Master, when he was key boardiing this part of his life. The picture is below.
It was taken when Otha came home from Boot Camp, a graduate of that part of his naval career. He probably
remembers some of those days, and maybe his company while training there. San Diego was a large training facility
for the US Navy, and until this day (2010) remains an important training facility for new recruits. On the back of
this picture the following is imprinted “Guaranteed for Life” This is a Genuine Border Fox Tone Picture, Fox Company,
San Antonio, Texas, April 1939. “Boot Camp leave” written in pen. In those days negatives had to be sent away as far as
San Antonio for development. The house in the background probably is the home Otha grew up and lived in during his
Pecan Island, Louisiana early years. Notice the meter to measure usage of natural gas. In 1939, this was natural because
the gas came from underneath our soil and it became popular to heat homes and cook with this petroleum product.
One more thing should be said about Otha Morgan. He has written a story called "My Life". It was published by EZ
Studios in Abbeville. Otha has the only copy. This page can reproduce the story, only if it is requested by one of his class-
mates or by a son or daughter of one of his classmates. Just send an email to the email address at bottom of this paragraph.
