1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:06,39
And so what did you see when you actually
arrived at the relocation center itself.

2
00:00:06,94 --> 00:00:12,58
What what was your first impression the
first thing I saw was the bridge over the

3
00:00:12,58 --> 00:00:19,17
rushing water. There
used for irrigation and

4
00:00:20,45 --> 00:00:26,84
the water tower. The water tower
fascinated me because it was

5
00:00:26,84 --> 00:00:32,85
a landmark. And I met the
superintendent of schools

6
00:00:35,23 --> 00:00:42,17
and the principal who was from Stanford
also. That was Jerome light bright light

7
00:00:43,35 --> 00:00:48,90
who I admire and he was a very
creative person. Now there's been

8
00:00:48,90 --> 00:00:55,82
a lot of controversy about him. I had and

9
00:01:00,57 --> 00:01:05,27
the thing that disturbed me about it was
the fact that the people of Idaho finally

10
00:01:05,27 --> 00:01:05,97
realized they had

11
00:01:05,97 --> 00:01:12,73
a gold mine. Politically. That
they really weren't aware of

12
00:01:15,04 --> 00:01:21,34
and then they suddenly realized your people
coming from all over the country. And

13
00:01:21,34 --> 00:01:27,83
these are jobs that we hire people could
have. And it was it became an interesting

14
00:01:28,89 --> 00:01:33,73
struggle for political power. And

15
00:01:39,70 --> 00:01:46,34
it was hard sometimes just to the
doctor I put up with an awful lot of

16
00:01:46,34 --> 00:01:53,09
problems. Accusations that were
not good. And were false. He had

17
00:01:53,09 --> 00:01:59,16
a beautiful family of four boy his lovely
wife. And they were they were living in

18
00:01:59,16 --> 00:02:04,72
the in the same kind of situation that I
was living in and they were the boys were

19
00:02:04,72 --> 00:02:08,42
going to the school. Different schools and

20
00:02:12,53 --> 00:02:12,88
I learned

21
00:02:12,88 --> 00:02:19,74
a lot from him and the
school was not in session

22
00:02:21,13 --> 00:02:22,64
. We had we had to build

23
00:02:22,64 --> 00:02:29,52
a core program. And because
he do that. I I I was hired.

24
00:02:29,84 --> 00:02:36,01
He was expecting me he had been notified
by the professor that. Sponsored

25
00:02:36,74 --> 00:02:38,53
me and he do that. Professor.

26
00:02:44,31 --> 00:02:45,61
So the first few days it was

27
00:02:45,61 --> 00:02:52,79
a days that that I was processed and I

28
00:02:52,79 --> 00:02:59,35
wandered the project some brought blocks
had not been finished being built and

29
00:03:00,38 --> 00:03:03,19
I got acquainted with the
schools being built and

30
00:03:08,48 --> 00:03:09,06
the food was

31
00:03:09,06 --> 00:03:15,83
a problem for me and good in that you
know our. You know our. Area you know

32
00:03:16,68 --> 00:03:22,96
I don't eat fish fish and I never you
got no longer a well basically well as

33
00:03:22,96 --> 00:03:28,88
a twin and I the doctor told my mother if
you're going to if you're going to raise

34
00:03:28,88 --> 00:03:33,86
those twins. You're going to
have to give them cut liver oil.

35
00:03:36,23 --> 00:03:43,23
Yes here. My sister lapped it up and
I couldn't tolerate it. Well you

36
00:03:43,23 --> 00:03:48,80
see my as I told you my grandmother had
had three sets of twins and my mother saw

37
00:03:49,65 --> 00:03:55,99
five of the six babies die. And so she
knew what he was talking about. Well

38
00:03:58,32 --> 00:04:04,57
I just couldn't tolerate fish after the
sampling of that cod liver oil when. So

39
00:04:04,57 --> 00:04:10,34
they finally got used to having something
for me to heat the inner. When they were

40
00:04:10,34 --> 00:04:17,34
having fish they understood
and. One of the nice things

41
00:04:17,34 --> 00:04:23,55
was to see some of the girls from the high
school. Serving checking us off because

42
00:04:23,55 --> 00:04:30,52
our we are meals were taken
out of our checks and.

43
00:04:33,56 --> 00:04:38,62
I don't think it took me by the dough week.
To be accustomed to the life that I was

44
00:04:38,62 --> 00:04:45,10
going to live and I had some
sass and maybe experiences I

45
00:04:45,10 --> 00:04:51,69
remember. Jerry like coming to me and
saying we're going camping in the mountains

46
00:04:51,69 --> 00:04:56,93
over the Labor Day weekend and
we want you as our guest. Well

47
00:04:58,36 --> 00:04:59,09
it was

48
00:04:59,09 --> 00:05:04,67
a nice experience for him and for me
because we were talking about what we were

49
00:05:04,67 --> 00:05:11,49
going to be doing in the
way of. Helping the

50
00:05:11,49 --> 00:05:17,12
teachers that were coming from all over
the country and we were there were there

51
00:05:17,12 --> 00:05:23,98
were teachers coming from. Who had been
teaching in Japan and other Asian countries

52
00:05:27,42 --> 00:05:33,70
that were traditional lists.
And they needed to know what

53
00:05:34,67 --> 00:05:41,56
the plan was for the schools that
are going to do. And. So we all met

54
00:05:41,56 --> 00:05:44,92
together. The some of them were

55
00:05:44,92 --> 00:05:49,65
a little bit cross over the fact that
they they felt that they were perfectly

56
00:05:49,65 --> 00:05:56,59
capable of teaching the way they had been
taught to teach as opposed to the core

57
00:05:56,59 --> 00:06:03,47
situation that we Stanford
people had been trained in

58
00:06:04,47 --> 00:06:07,51
. And. They were

59
00:06:07,51 --> 00:06:14,39
a little bit ticked. By it
and by to be wife was had

60
00:06:14,40 --> 00:06:18,99
had her master's degree from University
of South Dakota and she felt she was

61
00:06:18,99 --> 00:06:24,79
perfectly capable of teaching Spanish and
French without having to be bothered with

62
00:06:24,79 --> 00:06:29,12
what Stanford said she
had to do. But that was.
