past life I was born on a farm near

Millville Minnesota in 1916 we had no

electricity on the farm everything was

done by hand so we had to help with

milking which was done by hand we

gathered eggs we carried in wood because

our stoves burned wood I went to school

in Millville the school was looked like

a big square house and there were four

grades the smaller people were

downstairs 6 7 8 and 9 these were all

ages in the same room one teacher taught

all the subjects to these four grades

when I was small you either were going

to be a nurse a teacher a secretary or

get married and the teacher was the

choice women didn't have that many

choices when I was small I started

teaching in Millville in the same school

that I had gone to school in with a few

improvements in the meantime but I

started teaching again the six seven

eight and nine year olds did you like

teaching very much it was rewarding

extremely rewarding because you saw kids

develop and if you had some part of this

you knew you didn't do it all along

there were teachers that came before you

who got them to you at that point but if

you could all of a sudden get them to a

point where hey they were moving ahead a

little bit it was very satisfying yes I

certainly did
