Show WAYNE KIMBALL MARCH 28,2001 WAY: BBL: WAY: school was. BBL: WAY: BBL: Yes, that's where they have South Salt Lake offices now. Oh. Huh. As you go up the freeway you're right against almost where the Uh-huh. Okay, go ahead, questions. Let's see. Also, during that time when you were growing up, when you were a young boy, the Depression was on. Was your family affected? WAY: Yes, and I've often made the comment that we were poor and I didn't know it. Dad had the laundry, that's when they started the laundry. Those who started it used to work for the Royal Laundry and they quit en masse and started their own, mortgaged their homes to get the money, to get the business going. They were all ambitious. BBL: That would be scary at that time. So your father was able to keep employed during- WAY: Yes. My brother and I used to work for a Chinaman named Ju Jin and his place was on the railroad tracks at Fourth East about Twenty-second South by the railroad that used to go up Park City. His farm was there against the railroad tracks. And so we spent, early on in life, raising celery, spinach, radishes, carrots. Ju Jin and his wife had a cart and they would push the cart around the neighborhood selling their products. When I started out my wage was two-and-a-half cents an hour and by the time we quit, or did something else, it was ten cents an hour. A real bargain. BBL: You were doing backbreaking work: weeding and planting? 10 |
