Kids Grew Up Learning About Others with Arlene Wadsworth

Well you don’t need to talk about Oh prejudice we couldn’t ask for any more better school in Ohio because there was Chinese people colored people Mexicans Puerto Ricans it was all mixed up school of it little everything so my kids grew up learning how to get along with the other which I’m glad you know they can’t take what were Indians they’re not treating us but they could be treated any better you know they treated everybody alike so she I think about nine and tannery living around there yeah but it was so difficult but Devils Lake wasn’t as modern is they don’t have dating that Walmart Kmart and all that it just had a few stores so once we’ve been in today that was Lake like it was 13 miles we had buy everything while we were in town before coming back it wasn’t like when we lived down the street there was a grocery store right down the street and we lived right in the city and we had a camp a camper out of the campsite where you know we went and spend a weekend there the kids were able to do what they wanted it was so funny my daughter asked my husband she said oh she said dad are we gonna go camping this weekend he says just go put your sleeping bag outside underneath the tree that’s outside but it was hard trying to get used to living back here again because everything just seemed like it was so inconvenient in the city everything was handy you walk to the grocery store or anything you wanted was right there but here once you got to town you had to remember to get everything or go without it you know when you were a little growing up here what was it like well let’s see at six years old I had went to they had a boarding school at st.Michael’s I went there and we stayed there till Christmas we’d go home for two weeks and then we’d go back to the boarding school it was run by Catholic nuns and it was kind of hard you know well there was a love of bad experience and you know good experience you know because they nonce had strong control over us you know no until I was ill must been till about maybe the fourth grade didn’t he had you know thus they closed a boarding school up they had buses that took back and forth yet there we just live about maybe well like you would say maybe six blocks from the school but it was this country you know we just cut through the woods and we went to school it was about the same distance to walk into the highway at least there we walk to the woods and wasn’t so cold you know - we didn’t have to stand up the road freezing waiting for the bus to come [Music]
