| Description: |
Ivan ""Red"" Carey described himself as a ""boomer."" He worked in oil booms in southern California during the 1920s and 1930s. When he couldn't find an oil related job, he took other temporary work to support himself and his wife. After World War II, he did maintenance work for Long Beach Oil Development until that consortium laid him off before he could qualify for a pension.
