Show 53 YI: I don't know. I thin I'd have a different circle of friends. I think I'd have, maybe. I'm very tolerant. I've been in the bishopric, and the people are people, and what did Christ do. I had the feeling. He went with the sinners; he went with the drinkers, and we all should be that way. So I've always had that feeling. If I hadn't joined the church, I don't know what I'd have done. LK: Mmmrn Hmrnrn. YI: After I joined, like I mentioned, I was quite active till I got out of high school. Then I became a alcoholic, I mean ·- work-aholic (laughter). It's interesting, we got married in '38 and I got the tractor in '38. My wife was from a farm up in Tre~onton, and she drove a tractor and Torn Matsumoris and I, and I think it was Orem then. We'd hook three horse cultivators on the end of a tractor. Those days you had one horse pulling one horse cultivator. So behind a tractor, I had the wife drive, and three of us would have three horse cultivators. Man, we'd really go to town. (laughter) Can you imagine behind a tractor, three guys with a hand cultivator. LK: You were really turning gears. |
