David Dibble was born in San Francisco and moved as a young boy to Woodside. Still a teenager, he worked on the homefront during World War II, finally ending up at Standard Oil. He talks about life during the Depression, long walks to Menlo Park, and train rides to San Francisco. He remembers rationing during World War II, the local response to Pearl Harbor, and the lack of concern for the danger of his work. He tells of racial attitudes toward Japanese and Japanese Americans and the effect of media coverage of war on those at home.
