transportation in Jess Barthomomew's first school bus to continue on to Snow College. I earned my lunch each school day by working in the cafeteria at the college. Mother was a firm believer in work. Nothing was impossible if the one was willing to sacrifice and work. Mother was never idle; always she was helping others, her own folks especially. Work was a good word at our home. Even though her household money was very scarce at times she wanted things nice and planned color schemes in our home so they harmonized. She was particular about her dress. She always wanted to look her best, even though she had to save and plan and scheme and work long hours sewing; the result was her cloths were always stylish and becoming. She often told me to be thankful for my birthright. ! never remember her saying anything bad about anyone or repeating gossip. A friendmaker, a good neighbor, everyone seemed to love her and respect her for her honesty , her caring, her kindness, and her great understanding. She knew when to push to get a tiling accomplished. She helped me immensely when I bad problems. Always when I would talk to her 1 could feel her love, her confidence and trust in me. 1 have accomplished goats 1 have set for myself because of her teaching and the examples she sets for me. 1 can hear again her words repeated over and over.
