Lewis was born on February 17, 1905, in San Diego, one year after his parents immigrated to San Diego. His father was born in Indiana and his mother was born in England. His father was a carpenter, working in the construction trades throughout San Diego, Los Angeles, and Arizona. In this interview, Lewis recalls his life from early childhood through the Great Depression and beyond. He states that the highlight of his childhood years was the period 1915-1916 when the family lived at Fort Huachuca in Arizona while his father built Army barracks. He recalls an Apache Indian playmate with great affection.
