Mike Jewitt was born in Gilling- ham, England. He attended state schools until the family emigrated to the USA. He lived in the Boston suburbs and was sworn in as a citizen of the United States at Boston MA in 1962 and short- ly thereafter enlisted in the U.S.Navy. After being honorably discharged on medical, he moved to Carmel, Calif. and began a 36 year career in the airline business. Jewitt married Carol with three daughters and together they had a daughter and son. After retiring in 2000, the Jew- itts travelled the country in their motor home and purchased land in Quartzsite. After Carol died in 2006, Mike travelled before set- tling back in Quartzsite. Longtime friend, Marie and Mike were mar- ried in 2007 with the blessings of all children. In 2008, they pur- chased a new home on the land, and have lived there happily ever since. The Jewitts are active in the Queen of Peace Catholic Church.
