Tom gets a job on the Hoover Dam project under an assumed name. Through the grapevine (SWIDT?) he learns where the family is and sends them enough money to survive on. At the outbreak of WWII he joins the Merchant Marine and dies an honorable death when his Liberty Ship is hit by a kamikaze off Okinawa.
Rose of Sharon marries a foreman at the Boeing plant in Encino. Ma Joad lives with them until her death n 1962. Their son did an uneventful year in Nam, came home to join the LAPD and retired as a SGT. He has a place in Palmdale that's worth absurdly more than he paid for it. His kids left Cali years ago because they couldn't afford the cost of living. They're only dimly aware of their family saga. The End.
There it is. Good with me.
