Show PAUL 0. HUBER J L 14,2000 WIN: In you school career did you participate in extra-curricular activities lik athletics, drama, and music? PAU: My sister took piano lessons, and one of my brothers had a few piano lessons. My sister was an excellent piano player. I took up the Hawaiian guitar. There was a traveling group that gave mass lessons in the neighborhood. I went one night and had a lesson. They never showed up again. WIN: That was the end of it? PAU: That was the end of my guitar.

I also had my paper route through high school and had saved my money. In the summertime, I rode a bicycle from my home to Bountiful to pick fruit-cherries, peaches, or whatever was ripe. We also picked tomatoes. We could almost always get work that way. We would leave home about 4:30 or 5:00a.m., work in Bountiful for eight hours, and ride back home again. I also got a job working in a service station with 8 |
