The Navy did not allow sailors to have civilian clothes on Navy ships in those days. Therefore, the sailors kept their civilian clothes in a downtown ''locker club'' to wear when they went on Liberty.

I have a letter my mother wrote as a girl to her traveling salesman dad about the earthquake. She would have been 12 when it hit. Interesting from a kid's perspective; she was living in what is now WeHo and said the rocking was great fun, but seeing all the buildings with their fronts laying in the street was scary.
