Show CHARLES AND FRIEDA BYTHEW A Y NOVEMBER 6, 2001 and where it was okay for her to smoke because her religion didn't say And It was absolutely not good for me, but we understood each other And I just got to know the outside world better I wasn't as sheltered And you JUSt, you're eyes are opened a little bit more and you just get to be a httle bit brighter And yet, I remember how tolerant we were of each other, in our behefs and our values and like I say there were some of our own fmth. I JUSt didn't approve of what some of the kids there who were of my religion were doing. I couldn't mingle with them but I could with this httle Catholic girl because she was, her beliefs were different than mine. She wasn't restncted to where I was and we understood each other And I think that having a war and meeting different people from different parts of the country, too, like I say, meeting servicemen and that and being different and It's sort of the same expenence finding out what they beheve in and the respect. I think that as members of the church talked to them, they found out that, hey, these are good people. I mean, so I think It has a lasting effect on you when you go through an expenence like that. BEC: Yeah. Well, that's great. I thank you both for your time and for letting us take down your history Is there anything else you'd like to add before I turn the tapes off? FRI: (laughs) Well, not really I mean I had an experience at the factory there when I was asked to work on a Sunday He smd, "Well, Monday will be your day off." And I told him, I said, "I won't work on a Sunday" And he said, "Well, If you don't work on a Sunday, then you don't have a job." So, okay So we talked about It and so I worked Saturday and Sunday came, I didn't go to work and Monday was my day off, so I didn't go to work then. So I thought, Well, I'm fired by now, so I didn't go the next day 48 |
