Continuing our trip down memory lane, Mom died in 1937. We were living in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, where Dad worked at the Gandrud Creamery as a ice cream maker. World War II broke out December 7th. Dad's brothers enlisted. Dad would like to have joined them, but had family responsibilities they didn't have. The family moved to Tacoma, Washington, where Dad worked in the shipyard.
My life in public school consisted of this year of kindergarten in Redwood Falls and a year of first grade in Stellicolm, Washington. After that, I was educated by the church.
Taken on a winter outing to a granite quarry. You probably recognize the scene from an excellent painting G did of it.
Grandma S was much beloved by all. I imagine this was one of our last trips to Worthington before moving to Tacoma.
Dad cleaned up pretty good. He loved to wear a suit.
