WOW Chickie...I was only expecting someone to say something like, "Oh yeah, I remember as a kid seeing an old store on Main St., the A. L. Whitten grocery and feed store" or something like that. You really went above and beyond in your research...thanks a bunch. I'm not sure if that's the same people who would have owned the safe but I would guess, if it isn't, they would be familiar with a local business with the same name. The timeline fits the age of the safe and Lakeport is just across the bay from me.
We have a family compound with 3 homes. The house I found the safe in is was the first built, probably in the 50's. A third, my home, was built about 15 years ago. My pharmacist used to own the home I now live in, I wonder if he knows anything about the Whittens. I'll see him today.
Thanks again Chickie...great job.
