trying to establish his car top repair business in California. She and Mother made me a beautiful dress before high school graduation. It was a pale green and white polka-a-dot dress with a beautiful style that circled in the back. It was three-quarter length. A grey velvet jacket was made to go with the dress. We were visiting in California at the time. Mother let me buy some gray patten-leather shoes to go with the dress. Jennie had a hemstitching machine that she used in Ogden and California to help make her some money and she taught me how to use it. To earn money, I did work on it. One time I finished outfits for a dancing class. When Mother and I went to California in 1930 to visit my sister Madeleine who was working in a Doctor's office in Hollywood, Aunt Jennie tried to make us feel at home and helped Mother to located an apartment in a court. I still have the address where we lived. Mother was offered a job in a mortuary that would have paid rather well, but my sister and I didn't think that would be a very wholesome place to live (in an apartment at the mortuary) . This was the time of the great depression. We lived on bananas, sometimes over-ripe oranges and some figs. One time I told Mother I would make the dinner and brought Chinese cabbage, shrimp salad, and mayonnaise. We went to Church in the Wilshire Ward. We thought it was a most beautiful edifice and we felt fortunate to meet there. Aunt Lettie Farley Forsgren was very pretty and very particular about her looks and make-up. She was always properly and beautifully attired. She always looked like an older movie star. She was always congenialI never heard a nasty word, swear work or cross work among any of the sisters. When Mother's sisters were together there was a lot of laughing and kindness toward each other. They enjoyed having their birthday parties together. We always envied Aunt Lettie and her daughter Donna Forsgren (Heed) because they lived in the heart of Ogden City. Often when we went shopping, we would stop to visit for a short time. She always cheerfully greeted us and made us feel at home. Donna took care of her until Aunt Lettie passed away. When Aunt Ida Farley Ferrin returned to Ogden from Washington State with her family, she stayed with us for awhile until they got settled. Her husband Chariton was employed out of state. The whole family was involved in the oil and gas business and in selling stock. We were quite excited that they were going to settle in Ogden and Salt lake City. Aunt Ida was our "socialite" aunt because she soon became busy in church and civic affairs. She took delight in advising us girls of the styles that would be appropriate for us and gave us little hints about proper conduct and refinement among our peers and friends. She missed not having girls of her own. We were the benefactors of her advice. This was about 1932 or 1933. Friends were important to her. She associated with doctors and leaders and had a close affiliation with David O. McKay, her close friend. Home Town We lived in Ogden City however we had enough land around us to
