Show Loyd T. Adamson October 20 2000 some hungry days when I left home, but we had a good sized garden. And we'd plant a lot of th foods that we'd use for winter. And a lot of times in the fall my mother and her family--her sister and their family, the Wadmans, we'd go up in the canyon and we'd pick chokecherries and elderberries. And mother would make jelly out of those. WIN: What was your favorite thing to do when you were growing up in your high school years? LOYD: I loved to fish. WIN: You fished? Where did you go to fish? LOYD: Oh, sometimes I'd-most times I'd walk over to Ogden Canyon and fish just below the canyon, or just above the mouth of the canyon. I used to catch fish and take them home. It would tickle my mother. WIN: LOYD: WIN: LOYD: WIN: LOYD: WIN: LOYD: WIN: Yeah. That adds variety to the diet, doesn't it? Yes, uh huh, yeah. You could catch fish there by the Ogden River fairly well? Yes, uhhuh. And that was your favorite thing to do? Yeah, I think that was my favorite thing. Do you still like to fish? Yes, I love to fish, yeah. Okay. Well, you got through high school. You were in the national Guard already. The war in Europe was going, and then Pearl Harbor happened and you were kind of 12 |
