Show JOH B. ODDARD EPT MB R 0 2004 BEC: Wow. o you've got that which you're still involved in. Do you ever think about starting up again? JOHN: No. I thought about it, but not very long. END OF SIDE B, TAPE 1 BEC: We're continuing on with our interview with John Goddard today. We just wanted to wind up with a few things. How many children do you have? JOHN: I have four. My oldest is a girl. Her name is Mary Ann. The first baby that we had, we called Ann. When our Mary Ann came along, I told my wife, "I want to call her Mary Ann because that's two of my little girls in one." So she's named Mary Ann. I have a son, Kelly. He's eighteen months younger than Mary Ann. I have a daughter; she's three or four years younger. And then I have another son. So, girl, boy, girl, boy. BEC: Just like in your family. JOHN: Just like my family. BEC: Isn't that something. How many grandchildren do you have? JOHN: Believe it or not, of my four children, only one of them wanted to have children. And so I only have two grandsons. My youngest daughter had cancer when she was relatively young. She took chemotherapy and she was always afraid that it would recur. She said, "I don't want to bring a child into the world and have it have cancer, so I'm not going to have children." BEC: Oh. 43 |
