What was your family's original California Dream? Are you still living it? (Courtesy JCO's Place)

For a series we’re calling “Letters To My California Dreamer,” we’re asking Californians from all walks of life to write a short letter to one of the first people in their family who came to the Golden State. The letter should explain:

What was their California Dream?
What happened to it?
Is that California Dream still alive for you?

Fill out the form below, and we may contact you to turn your letter into a segment on our show. Here's the letter I wrote to my parents.
