I'm not sure what the company manufactured normally, but during the war they manufactured parts for air plane for the war cause. She said that every pay day, Alf would get four movie tickets with his paycheck. He was paid every Friday. Grimes owned the Gloria Theater and gave all their employees tickets. She said that they always went to the "picture show" on Saturday, usually with all the other neighborhood children (24 JUL 2006). *Lorene said that when they lived in Crockett, they use to walk down to mamma Wolfenbarger's (Milton G. and Susie Jane) house, and they would get songbooks out and sing. In the winter they would gather in a circle around the fireplace and someone would hold the lamp while they sang. (Lorene Wolfenbarger Duncan 13 MAY 2004 via Phone).
