Charles Sanford talks about moving to Fontana Village from a community located on "Old Road" 288 behind the Fontana dam and moving from a house with no running water or electricity to a community which had swimming pools, tennis courts, and other amenities not found in many places at the time, especially those designed for working class families. Also present during the interview is Edsel Newman, son of one of the Dam Kids.
