S5E27 - Stockton State
<p>A finish to the story of my great‑grandfather, Thomas O’Connor — a man whose life began hopefully in Ireland, endured immigration, hard work, three marriages, and ended during the Great Depression in a place few families ever talk about openly: Stockton State Hospital, one of California’s largest mental institutions. His story is not an easy one. But it is deeply human. And like so many family stories, it sits at the intersection of love, hardship, silence, and survival. <a href="http://oconnor.home.blog/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBEydjl3YTJ6S0lJQ1AwTjJSYXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7_RjqiYxrvzEA6JC-Jy4f1-yKB2MBVFgV2whDwrXghik_eK9qkRZWs_foLEA_aem_M_KtddpfWY8F0JecekgGRw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://oconnor.home.blog</a></p>
