24. When were you born?
I was born on June 30, 1928 at a
summer campsite in the woods. I
had two sisters, Elsie and barb
My family did logging there and
picked rutabagas when it was
rutabaga season. They picked those
by the bushel.
25. What was life like when you were
little?
It was beautiful. We had to work all the
time, help our parents outside in the
heat and sun.
We used to wash socks on one of those
washboards. That was tough duty,
those socks. They sure get dirty.
26. What foods do you remember?
Same as what we eat now. Oatmeal.
Bacon. Fry bread. Pancakes.
We had a big garden. We used to go
up and take radishes. And we’d go out
in the woods. We had deer meat, our
dads hunted and fished. We picked
berries.
