See Family

Charles Alexander See II was born in Canada and came to California in 1919. He came with his wife, Florence, with whom he had three children: Laurance A. See (1912-?), Margaret M. See (1913-?), and Harry W. See (1921-?), who was born after they arrived in the U.S. By 1920, they were living in Pasadena, California and Charles A. See II was working as a druggist in a drug store. At some point prior to her death in 1939, matriarch Mary See moved back to Ontario, Canada, where she was born.

Laurance A. See's high-profile divorce from his wife Elizabeth in 1962 resulted in a landmark community property opinion, written by Chief Justice Roger J. Traynor of the Supreme Court of California for a unanimous court.

Famous quotes containing the word family:

    For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)

    At best the family teaches the finest things human beings can learn from one another—generosity and love. But it is also, all too often, where we learn nasty things like hate, rage and shame.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
