Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps and serves as its prime amphibious training base for Assault Craft Unit 5.^[2] It is located on the Southern California coast, in San Diego County, and bordered by Oceanside to the south, San Clemente, Cleveland National Forest, Orange and Riverside counties to the north, and Fallbrook to the east.
The base is split into North and South and was established in 1942 to train U.S. Marines for service in World War II. By October 1944, Camp Pendleton was declared a "permanent installation" and by 1946, it became the home of the 1st Marine Division. It was named after Major General Joseph Henry Pendleton (1860–1942), who had long advocated setting up a training base for the Marine Corps on the west coast. Today it is the home to myriad Operating Force units including the I Marine Expeditionary Force and various training commands.

Red Ryder BB Gun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Red Ryder BB Gun is a BB gun made by Daisy Outdoor Products and introduced in 1938 that resembles the Winchester rifle of Western movies. Named for the comic strip cowboy character Red Ryder (who also appeared in numerous films between 1940 and 1950, and on television in 1956), the BB gun is still in production despite the fact that the comic strip was cancelled in 1963.

  Two Red Ryder BB Guns in box. These are a relatively recent reissue. The boxes promote the gun as being "just like the one your Dad had!"

MARBLES
A marble is a small spherical toy usually made from glass, clay, steel, plastic or agate. These balls vary in size. Most commonly, they are about 1/2 inch to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.6 cm) in diameter, but they may range from less than 1/30 inch (0.111 cm) to over 3 inches (7.75 cm), while some art glass marbles for display purposes are over 12 inches (30 cm) wide. Marbles can be used for a variety of games called marbles. They are often collected, both for nostalgia and for their aesthetic colors. In the North of England the objects and the game are called "taws", with larger taws being called bottle washers after the use of a marble in Codd-neck bottles.

Bi As The Travel Tracer (Chap 13-16)

CHAPTER 13: Victor's brother, Joseph, came home after he was feeling better. Joseph went to a horse ride to the West end with Victor at night and fell into shallow grass. Joseph broke his leg. Victor's cousin and his sister took care of Victor while his parents gone for business. On a ride, Victor refused to remain in the car because of his cousin's incautious driving so he jumped outside and broke his leg.

CHAPTER 14: Victor told Joseph what happened at the incident. Joseph lectured him that he should learn to make good decision his own sake.

CHAPTER 15: Victor got depressed because of his brother illness. He didn't have any mood on winning marbles. His friends stick with him everyday to explore about "blackmail business." Older kids challenged Victor in a marble battle. They ended up beating each other. Victor losed but he felt ease for not being the champion.

CHAPTER 16: Joseph died. The family sadly opened a funeral. Victor is in great pain and his parents got frustrated because their children died. The death incident had been a burden
