00:02:56.090 - 00:03:05.180

I really loved it because I mostly grew up on a farm. My grandfather had a 37 IQ or form just below here.

00:03:05.180 - 00:03:15.830

And we just love to ride with the horse on a horse and wagon. And everything he did was by horse. He didn't believe in machinery at

00:03:15.830 - 00:03:26.990

that time because he was raised by the Amish people. And we have a good experience for us. The Amish here and Delaware, Pennsylvania.

00:03:26.990 - 00:03:38.880

They deliver. Okay. Okay. What kind of far away is it? Just a regular okay. Great heroes.

00:03:38.880 - 00:03:49.400

Rey screen, poultry, eggs, milk. We had the old works. He never had to work for anybody. But he sells toys

00:03:49.400 - 00:04:02.160

and I like it. I was born here on your right across from the school. Okay.

00:04:02.160 - 00:04:10.820

And by a midwife. And I forget her name, mrs. Biddle. But I think it are firstname. Now, does she live in the community?

00:04:10.820 - 00:04:29.790

She used to be from a Belvedere area. What do you know if anybody else was born like that? Using a midwife or equal?

00:04:29.790 - 00:04:39.560

Okay. What was the OH, up playing with other children. Oh, we get flung.

00:04:39.560 - 00:04:47.620

Your your family. Yes. We mostly play with the orals. Away from school.

00:04:47.620 - 00:04:57.560

That school we mostly played here. We played like baseball and tag, we call it blind man's bluff here at the school reopening school.

00:04:57.560 - 00:05:07.250

So so this was school recreation? Yes. Oh, yeah. I was having a lot of recreation. Okay. What was the bombings block

00:05:07.250 - 00:05:14.060

is when you have it Yeah. Order over? Yes. One person they would get up by the treaty.

00:05:14.060 - 00:05:22.310

Other person had to go in and get them without getting caught. So someone tag you then you had to stay in locked in.

00:05:22.310 - 00:05:30.250

Okay. Until someone got through and tag you didn't you could escape loss. Okay.

00:05:30.250 - 00:05:40.640

One other noteworthy, were they more or less the recreational games? But were they kind of be organized? Partly. I think we might have

00:05:40.640 - 00:05:47.000

made a game up ourselves. I'm not sure. Okay. Or whether then we had baseball to resize that and hopscotch,

00:05:47.000 - 00:05:56.940

they create a lot of hopscotch tone. Now how was the baseball what you remember about how the baseball was played? Like, you know, you have basis?

00:05:56.940 - 00:06:02.700

Yes. Softball hit it and if it was there must have been a border work. You hit it.

00:06:02.700 - 00:06:09.160

Beyond that, it was an out. Yes. But mostly we couldn't hit that for Week 1, right?

00:06:24.530 - 00:06:37.200

I can now when the cars and the other games we play was 12 boys. I think it was Calvin Williams and Watson roller skates to clean points.

00:06:37.200 - 00:06:46.940

So one of us will get one are flipped and we would go down the sidewalk with 2D in. Okay. I gotta get the okay with you.

And then with some polarities up the road a little further. And they had chicken farms. My first year.

00:24:38.620 - 00:24:48.260

Well, I started when I was like 11 years old, crossed a dairy farm, Mr. Norman come ether. And I work went over

00:24:48.260 - 00:24:57.020

Yeah. It was 20. But we'd go up or it gets maybe $0.07 a base skewed or something like that.

00:26:23.650 - 00:26:32.230

And I was a little guy so I had to carry between your legs to the row for the truck. I pick it up and into trouble, come and pick them up.

00:28:15.610 - 00:28:24.380

They don't even remember the father because he died while they were little. They're paying us dive and they were little. And my father's oldest

00:28:24.380 - 00:28:42.150

add there halfway through the cranial, Mary mandible. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I know it as that

00:29:36.430 - 00:29:45.920

with just the interaction between non-blacks and why did you have any problems when you work

00:29:45.920 - 00:29:53.660

on this with leaders is really they're not going to buy prejudice because, well, we didn't go nowhere.

00:29:53.660 - 00:30:02.150

We did, we didn't know. And all the farmers, like I said, I, Mr. folk, we all sit down together at the table.

00:30:02.150 - 00:30:10.640

Mr. Comey ether, cross the road from us anytime we needed some know. My mom needed look for the younger kids week of school,

00:30:10.640 - 00:30:21.400

but Eric, he would charges are nothing. But that's the way it was. And that's another guy, Mr. Dan really had chickens, eggs and stuff.

00:30:21.400 - 00:30:31.910

They do so to factor a cane or your fat freezer. So we just go over there and get a Eggs. Who like to, I'll say they've never charge.

00:30:31.910 - 00:30:44.070

You see now that we never we never knew anything about prejudice I decided. And baby back at my mom's day.

00:30:44.070 - 00:30:57.220

It might have had both. Depends on where you were. I guess. We didn't get to travel that much. Only Sundays.

00:30:57.220 - 00:31:04.190

I mean, in August we go on one of those picnics, maybe like the Hershey and handovers, in my opinion, and that's once a year.

00:31:04.190 - 00:31:15.980

We would do that when we were little and tell me got rung. And then we go everywhere. Once we've got that

00:31:15.980 - 00:31:26.650

was my dream when I got 16 car. Okay. And that's what I guess is that eating? Not where I was working away here. This chicken for her right next door.

00:31:26.650 - 00:31:36.200

I'll save them. I was making my $40 a week. And from February to May, that's when I bought my first score, saved up to 100 and some dollars from

00:31:36.200 - 00:31:47.120

Effort Score series. Oh, yeah. So what was it a used car because yes. A 53. Wow. Yeah. I walked to me

00:31:47.120 - 00:31:53.930

and one above her voice, we walk from here to newer one day to get an LCA. Barber shop is closed,

00:31:53.930 - 00:32:01.370

so we brought down a fader forward and looking around. So he had authority. I said, How much do you want? He said $250.

00:32:01.370 - 00:32:07.220

So I was a teenager, I went through the slide, can lend money to want to figure out how they won bout

00:32:07.220 - 00:32:12.640

from attempt tag, hanging. And I've got a dollar with a guess at a couple dollars. That's what year was that?

00:32:12.640 - 00:32:26.430

In a single year was that should say euros been bought. My first car was close to 59 or 60 is close to 60 year.

00:32:26.430 - 00:32:35.210

Our current weather was 53 chevy. Now remember, leave it there. When I worked at the chicken farm, some fellow came up.

00:32:35.210 - 00:32:41.060

He thought I live there and he asked me, did I want a job working at nucleation agents. So I'll say yes.

00:32:41.060 - 00:32:48.780

Though in May I went down to see him. Those who want to read a classical one body use USB. So gas station.

00:32:48.780 - 00:32:57.170

So I left them a chicken farm. I went down there and got a $1.15 cents an hour with him working on course and right ears.

00:32:57.170 - 00:33:03.680

That's where I learned how to work. All right, eaters, like a writing specialist at General Motors now at

00:33:03.680 - 00:33:09.310

the gas station here, right? Yeah. This before I went to General Mills. Yeah.

00:33:09.310 - 00:33:16.000

But I stayed with him six years. Okay. But then later on I got married them up like 20 to what the no benefits.

00:33:16.000 - 00:33:27.020

So I left there and General Motors. General Motors, 26.5 years. Is that what you started yet either graduate of specialists who

00:33:27.020 - 00:33:37.880

are working on car radiators? Yeah. I believe I didn't even notice. Yeah. Anyway and hot the leads

00:33:37.880 - 00:33:47.920

and I didn't know that. Okay. So that was our job to fix them. Sf face down there.

00:33:47.920 - 00:33:57.140

And he had data on bottom-up height and pass out and there's not a half on your lap. And I will call it used to be a gas station that's up here,

00:33:57.140 - 00:34:06.230

only Yogi data, so E So like hey Aughie Madison, nothing. If I use the museum houses a swipe be loaded and whatever. Rebuttal.

00:34:06.230 - 00:34:11.540

Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Let's see my grandfather at the back there.

00:34:11.540 - 00:34:23.120

I can't read them under study. Cookie. Cookie here. Here we go. Yeah.

00:37:06.690 - 00:37:14.560

Yeah. Some of the kids weren't fortunate enough to bring lunch, so they would bring a big old potato, put them on a bagel. In the morning.

00:37:14.560 - 00:37:22.150

My lunchtime it was yeah, I think we had a heartbeat that girls used to cook like macaroni on their roof and get

00:37:22.150 - 00:37:30.010

them back and run them on the Congo girls. Cook this macaroni, It was good. It wasn't nothing like ball MCA running with some milk

00:37:30.010 - 00:37:38.590

in foreign pepper and maybe some cheese or whatever in. Okay, well it's come running loops like, Oh, I'll never forget

00:37:38.590 - 00:37:48.230

their desktop Mac around. And he did. The one I must have been hard. Like halfway through the morning

00:37:48.230 - 00:37:58.520

if somebody to lunch was cooking. Yeah. Yeah. You get some knowledge in a dorm. And then we had a recesses

00:37:58.520 - 00:38:05.450

in between the two. Okay. Now, what was the lighting light in here? Well, we get an electric, yeah.

00:38:05.450 - 00:38:12.050

Okay. And then the older was they had the lamps, so yeah. But we get the electric and 40 when I came 46.

00:38:12.050 - 00:38:19.680

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It might be the same similar to those. Yeah.

00:38:20.020 - 00:38:26.210

I just can't picture it right now, but it's similar to those. Uh-huh. So unit number 2?

00:38:26.210 - 00:38:36.230

Yeah. Oil lamps. Now see that? 30. Okay. I add it's not the ceiling

00:38:36.230 - 00:38:45.950

still look like it or write it in the same spot in your minds were then we had the Blackboard suddenly. They still there they go.

00:38:45.950 - 00:38:54.660

Okay. Yeah, These me over here and I think we have some up there in the big map. Created the world map.

00:38:54.820 - 00:38:58.460

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:38:58.460 - 00:39:12.730

She was setup for decimals. 36 levels of chairs crossed here. Like that. How many times?

00:39:12.730 - 00:39:23.030

Oh, maybe six to a class or something like I say, at so many first graders, second graders, third, fourth, fifth, sixth like that.

00:39:23.030 - 00:39:30.290

And then she had that sometimes sixth graders might help some of the first or second grade yeah. With their spelling or something like GAD

00:39:30.290 - 00:39:43.550

or you're ever going to want, is that the guy he's to troll Mike for Christmas and Santa Ana are a couple

00:39:43.550 - 00:39:52.970

of guys. They were really good. Yeah, they were good artists. So when you're in a school where there's still pictures of

00:39:52.970 - 00:39:59.870

Abraham Lincoln and George Washington? No, yes. Still handle that. Demand. Our library was over the year.

00:39:59.870 - 00:40:07.450

Dam on the wall. There are books. Yeah. It all kinda. Yeah. Okay. So you have a library?

00:40:07.450 - 00:40:14.570

So yes. Okay. Yeah. I think we had two works. Okay. In smaller size and everything. So what do you remember?

00:40:14.570 - 00:40:29.490

What were the books in the library? Like the little engine that could, you know, stuff like that. It looks. Then we had a regular readers to

00:40:30.490 - 00:40:44.180

make Dick and Jane in all that tight. Did you have a separate reading time like the equivalent of what? That at all now?

00:40:44.180 - 00:40:55.510

Yeah, we're really time where we had everything fit together. We're back at our math, spelling, reading. Something else we hit there's

00:40:55.510 - 00:41:06.380

like social studies or science. Then we would do it even in science projects. I'd never will forgive me when I one day to get which to

00:41:06.380 - 00:41:15.710

get honeysuckle and stuff, you know, when it started blooming. So one day we'd want a branching ahead. Cu, one is Koopman's things on

00:41:15.710 - 00:41:22.850

even though we had an upward on the top, the library thing there. We like snap or release. Yeah, that's a sudden it and a

00:41:22.850 - 00:41:29.840

hatched out after we came in. Way more math. It's all right. Do you think you didn't get it?

00:41:29.840 - 00:41:43.160

She was scared to death. Yeah, we did flow of the tadpoles. Get yours all a lot of gross stuff like paying a llama beans are

00:41:43.160 - 00:41:54.860

somehow that I guess it was more like science. I remember when I did the school. Yeah, we we had like a paper towel down.

00:41:54.860 - 00:42:10.880

So you can see Germany specimens of the area. So it was the area around the school pretty much the same as it is

00:42:10.880 - 00:42:19.950

now or are immediately around this area. I also see how the school is. Okay. Everythings by saying okay. Sfo, all that. New house. Yeah.

00:42:19.950 - 00:42:26.870

Yeah. But everything else seems to be in place where we have slaves, the sliding board, I'm going to see Souls

00:42:26.870 - 00:42:35.540

than the weight of thing we'd go. And monkey bars are some grappled sling around the RAM can happen and can change on a Yeah.

00:42:35.540 - 00:42:43.700

Janet, try. Yeah. Any hold on to these women spent uranium. The Iraqi Greenwich.

00:42:43.700 - 00:42:56.240

Yeah. We haven't let go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We do that. Sometimes get her. And there's sometime we get the girls up

00:42:56.240 - 00:43:03.360

so high, it was very scary. I'm going way up there. So how did, how did how did you get the momentum I made

00:43:03.360 - 00:43:14.480

was they were on hold of your run. They otherwise it takes off like a maple. Links on the top. You don't ever remember that

00:43:14.480 - 00:43:23.320

Toby, and use your brain. Cool. Now you're here. Agenda. Yeah, I think the message critically. Remember thankful.

00:43:23.320 - 00:43:29.900

Yeah. I mean everybody by curating your memory. Yeah, You can datapath all yeah. Yeah, it was big enough.

00:43:29.900 - 00:43:38.870

That was fun for us. Wearing shoes that I came there had like, yeah, good things. Your exam.

00:43:38.870 - 00:43:54.300

Yeah. Where your feet or feet home free. Why did this hung onto Wow. Yeah. Habit. Yeah. Why do you think that?

00:43:54.300 - 00:44:03.110

It is fun as well? I'm breaking here. We start overlap and one and then when that thing overlaps the other,

00:44:03.110 - 00:44:11.000

it would take off real fast. It'll go away. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I want somebody to

00:44:11.000 - 00:44:18.080

walk in front of you. That's for Louisiana. Somebody walked in flat. There's my cousin. He grew up in fund.

00:44:18.080 - 00:44:28.260

One of the swings are behind the swinging a AT and knocked him down. He has got an owner C ready. They could have really healthy.

00:44:28.690 - 00:44:40.610

It was dangerous. It sounds like yeah. Today up and it would be wouldn't be safe within that correctly

00:44:40.610 - 00:44:54.660

that three in the grammarly, god-like. Oh yeah, it's gotta hire anybody to bring your knife nationally. Yeah, sometimes people drink.

00:44:55.120 - 00:45:15.320

You remember, haven't heard of water or anything here? No. Only be so good at that. Okay. Hey, Riana 56

00:45:15.320 - 00:45:22.940

30, change is slow. They need that job, but let's say Alice wants fifth grade, sixth grade.

00:45:22.940 - 00:45:31.230

We had to pick the me, Congo and the Calvin wheels. We're to pick that thing up and put it up on the thing.

00:45:31.230 - 00:45:38.930

And we were small that they must wait for the water. And they are just the same side where we remove guys.

00:45:38.930 - 00:45:59.450

Some found that the ranking that water oh, yeah. Hey, layer to us. And I am getting

00:45:59.450 - 00:46:14.190

a headache. Well, your desk. Yes. I think we're good to go.

00:46:14.190 - 00:46:31.210

I did. Later on when we started using the pens and pencils. But the wells, everything was still there. One. Okay.

00:46:31.210 - 00:46:42.160

What kind of shape where your books then? What a fairly shake. We had to cover them. Okay, here every once in a while,

00:46:42.160 - 00:46:47.670

they might get a reader. I forget the name of that ambiguity or we say, and now I can't

00:46:47.670 - 00:46:57.010

think of anything that big reader. So you're still getting your LEA ease books? Yeah. I remember one time we had to go to

00:46:57.010 - 00:47:05.630

St. George's and get some books. One car. I don't know who I went now when we went there with somebody and got some books

00:47:05.630 - 00:47:12.680

and brought back up here. As well as St. George. It'll get really close up and give up. Okay.

00:47:12.680 - 00:47:21.740

What about highest pencils? Suddenly, it mostly bought off from the house and then the school in the state muscles

00:47:21.740 - 00:47:29.850

supplied them with a little bit. I remembered a yellow paper and something else we India. And the old crayons.

00:47:31.270 - 00:47:41.270

I think the state might have supplied some of that stuff with crayons. Yeah, they were new lumpy garden. I remember.
