May 12th Meeting speaker George House
The program for the Historical Society meeting on May 12, 2010, is going to be a look into the past with speaker George House. This 83 years young gentleman grew up in Milpitas. He is full of stories to relate about his life growing up on Main Street and his neighbors. At fifteen he worked with his cousins on a twelve-hour night shift in the cold storage plant for $1 an hour. He enjoyed going to the local Youth Center/pool hall. His stories at the meeting will emphasize the period of history that often gets left out — the time between the depression and World War II.
Mr. House has had a long and varied career: college, being in the service, working with the FBI, then in education as principal of Lick High School from 1954 to 1972. In 1973 he opened the new Santa Theresa High School where he stayed until retirement.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Milpitas Public Library multi-use room 160 N. Main Street.
