And that’s been rough, and we went like everybody else having good times and bad and our family never went hungry either, so, and my kids grew up to be nice kids. They are all working.
I didn’t work until I had seven children in school and one here. My oldest son was a senior and my youngest daughter went to school that year and I went to work.
I worked over in a factory where they made the control panels for washer and dryers.
Then I worked out here, no not here, but down in ________ River Factory where they made mud guards. They didn’t call it mud flaps, they didn’t want that, they wanted to call them mud guards (Laughs), until I was laid off one time. Then I started taking care of older people in their homes and when they called me back to work I decided I didn’t want to work in a factory anymore.
