That may have been before his time there but if not he knew and knows everyone in town and can also ask around with the old timers. I was raised in orick and it is very small. By the 1960's, the logging was going down the tubes. It is now included in the Redwood National Forest. the town is kinda dumpuy but the scenery around it is spectacular. I miss it still. I was there from 1939 until 1950. My Dad was postmaster but was retired by 1960's. (Too bad he would have known for sure) You don't mention an age. you might have someone check a highschool year book wherever they went ot highschool then as there was not one in Orick. You might try the Humboldt County Library fin Eurkea for an old telephone directory for Orick on the dates in question. Good luck. Hleen Mc
