Show CECIL PAYNE u u t 12, 20 1 And I just kind of dinked around like that, from one job to another. Until th fall of '4 7. Well, the main reason I stayed there, I should tell you, was because my dad got hit on a highway job he was working on. A car hit him one night at midnight and put him broke him, really broke him up. Just about every bone in his body. And I stayed home to help take care of him, and help take care of the small farm and stuff. And then my mother had surgery, and I was helping him, and I saved up for two years. And then, at the end of' 4 7, in October '4 7, I came to Salt Lake. And I went to work down here, and that's where I've been ever since. BOB: Do you think the military helped you in any way? CEC: Oh yeah, I'm sure it did. First word I think of, it "broadened" me a lot. I got educated, shall I say, worldly, in things that I don't know what I would have done had I stayed where I was. All I ever knew was as small town! And I got out and saw what went on in the world, and found out that there was more than just Bear Lake Valley. BOB: How did you meet your wife? CEC: She was- was it when I came home- I guess ... BOB: She was from Dingle? CEC: No, she was living in Salt Lake ... BOB: Oh living in Salt Lake? CEC: At that time. She was born in Dingle. BOB: Had you known her before? CEC: No. 57 |
