Bus driver - L.A '42 |
I also have an artifact from 1940 that says he worked at Mare Island Navy Yard. Mare Island is northeast of San Fransisco and 350 miles from Los Angeles. Apparently, Elvis spent a bit of time in California and moved around before he got involved in the war. Perhaps the L.A. caption is incorrect since the other one just says California.
Elvis was the son of Thelma Sarah (Hunt) and Floyd Gipson Brassfield.
