Notes
a. Note:   nd played softball and won the school foot-race.
 When not in school she did farm chores: worked in the fields, milked the cows, churned cream and butter, fed the chickens and gathered eggs.
 (Dennis remembers helping out once and bringing back up to the house all the magical glass "encouragement" eggs.)
 Sometimes they had to hunt deer, rabbits, racoon, and squirrels for food and she enjoyed fishing with her father. With her .22 she shot and fixed many a tasty squirrel dinner. Made ice cream for a treat. Enjoyed roller skating and playing with water pistols.
 She played in the cool caves back up on the bluff and hike out on the sunny hot Sand Hill.
 She liked to swim in the stock watering tank and go horseback riding. Was stung badly by hornets once. But it was a hard life - especially after her mother left and she had to look after the family alone. Sometimes she would have to run away and meet Clarence somewhere along his milk route to escape the drudgery of the farm.
  She worked as a Secretary at the Badger Ordnance Works in 1941-1942? Clarence didn't know her then - he started at BOW in 1950.
  She enjoyed air shows at Milton's Sauk Prairie Airport and- served food to the pilots and spectators from Henry Zech's camper and would fly with Milton and Lester.
  Helped out the home farm by selling watermelons from a trailer on the square in Baraboo in the summer. Dennis remembers the big Black Diamond watermelons they grew back up on the Sand Hill in Merrimac.
  She went swimming with the kids at Devils Lake on hot summer days and camping all over the country. Dennis remembers bottle-capping lots of homemade root beer.
  She helped out at the Birch Haven Ski Hill and the kids remember many a joyous day and night flying down on the wooded staves of the day and then pulling themselves up by slowly gripping the singing tow rope as it rubbed holes in their patched leather mitts.
Note:   She entered Parfreys Glen grade school in 1931. She was very athletic a
