Amelia migrated west to Pleasanton, CA in 1964 while working with Scholastic Books. She would live there for the next 50 years, also being employed by Boswell's Party Supplies. Over the years, Amelia's home welcomed family and friends for gatherings of all types, most famous were her New Years' parties.
