December 16, 1982: Interview with Edith Delean (from Sharon Reifer Gallant)
This is an interview with my great-grandmother, Edith Eastlund Delean.
Q. What was a typical day like for you?
A. I went hiking with friends and did a lot of other outdoor things.
Q. What was a school day like?
A. I would have to walk five miles to school and five miles back from school and then do my chores and homework.
Q. When did you start working? How much was the salary?
A. I started working when I was 17 at a store. I received $15 for a week of work which bought the things I needed.
Q. What types of discipline where used at home and at school?
A. At school, I remember the principal hitting our hands with a board if we talked. At home, my mother didn't let me go out to play if I was in trouble.
Q. What were meals like?
A. We usually had a dinner with meat and other courses.
Q. What kind of entertainment did you have?
