    Check with the Dept. of Professional Licensing (or whatever it's called in Calif.!) in Sacramento. If they required contractors to be licensed during that time, it should show up on microfiche in their records.

    Another avenue would be the local construction society. For example, in the Seattle area we have the "Master Builders" that the best contractors belong to. They have to meet certain standards for admission to the group -- quality work, professional license with the state, etc.

    Call your local Building Official and ask their guidance in your search.

    If you have a lumber and hardware store nearby, drop in to chat with some of the guys about your search. They should be able to give you some hints. They'll also probably know some retired contractors. It may be worth your while to ask them to pass along your name and phone number to some of them, or ask the names and phone numbers of the retirees. You'd be surprised what you can learn from these seniors!!

    Good luck,
