I have a few memories of swimming in the outdoor pool at Murray park and
walking home and stopping at the little store on Vine Street that was across the
from the entrance to the park. We would
buy penny candy there. I know that we commuted
to Brigham City for a few months until our house in Brigham City was
finished. The freeway was not finished
and we had to drive on highway 89. It
must have taken us hours each way. I
know we would leave like at 4 in the morning and then not get back until late
at night. How long did we do that? I remember that aunt Verrie came to visit us
in Brigham and that she and I went outside and picked up construction debris
from the yard. When we got done we had quite
a pile of trash. I remember that Van
slept in the unfinished basement. That
the grade school was on double shifts and that my morning shift was done
sometime just afternoon and mom gave me money to walk to the movie theater on
State Street a few blocks north of the grade school and see the same movie
everyday and I had enough money to buy a treat except for primary day when I
would go to primary at the Talbot’s ward where Sister Bott was my teacher. I went to their ward because I could walk
there our ward was too far away. I can’t
remember what I would do after the movie.
Do you Alice? I was only 7 at the
beginning of the school year and I remember she was an old lady but I liked her
and she liked me. She wrote me on my
mission once and she came to our wedding.
She was a great lady. I was
baptized in Brigham. Dad baptized
me. I was his only child that he was
able to baptize. He had joined the
church when I was 6. When did we move to
Bountiful was it the summer after we moved to Brigham? I remember playing with Dad’s jointer and
getting my middle finger shortened. Dad
was pretty upset and I had to get my finger sowed up.
