Thanks. Below is another tid-bit of a story related to the history of Needles, California. I just wish I could find a photo and some more information related to the Coca Cola bottler from there. But hopefully that will be forthcoming and make this essay complete. []

Charles M. Schulz (1922–2000) (Creator of Charlie Brown and the "Peanuts" comic characters).
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 26, 1922, Charles M. Schulz was the only child of Dena and Carl Schulz. From birth, comics played an important role in Schulz’s life. At just two days old, an uncle nicknamed him “Sparky†after the horse Spark Plug from the Barney Google comic strip, and throughout his youth he and his father shared a Sunday morning ritual reading the funnies. Schulz always knew he wanted to be a cartoonist and was very proud when Ripley’s newspaper feature, Believe it or Not, published his drawing of the family dog in 1937. The Schulz family moved to Needles, California, in the summer of 1929, when Sparky was six years old; they only stayed there for about a year before returning to Minnesota.
