Andrew Nixon / CapRadio If it weren’t for Darwin Kan’s family, the town of Locke might not exist. As he walks through the one-road Delta town about a half-hour south of Sacramento, he points out a few family landmarks: the Moon Cafe, where his father was born; his family’s old ranch-style home, with roses planted by his grandmother outside.
