Frank and Lita began to look at houses. That process took months. Why? Because house-hunting in the 1950s and '60s San Jose was quite different than it is today. Modern home shoppers surf the net, then drive around to look at homes that are scattered across the valley. In 1960, we drove around to look at new cities. Everywhere we looked, massive housing developments had sprung up like mushrooms after a fall rainstorm.
