Show TODAY I AUGUST 15, 2001. THI I TERVIEW I FOR SAVING THE HISTORICAL LEGACY. TODAY WE ARE WITH JAME P TTER 0 , D WE ARE GOING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HI LIFE.

I've got a younger brother who went in the navy, and an older brother who stayed in the coal mines. And the two girls, my two sisters, got married. And they lived with them in East Carbon for quite awhile, and then they moved out and down into Price along the Provo. But they're all gone now except me and my brother, my younger brother. LUK: Did you stay in Sunnyside up until the war, or did you move around? JAM: No, I always wanted to be in the service. I didn't want to stay in the coal mines. All the kids my age who graduated from high school, they went right to the mines. And they hired them and started them off that way. And I didn't want that. If you've ever 1 |
