A: No, it wasn’t too much, but it made spending money and the movies didn’t cost too much at that time. You could go to the movies and have a bag of popcorn pretty cheap.

Q: Where was the movie theater?

A: It was on Main Street; the Ides Theater was just up from the T-Shirt Shop where the Drug Store used to be; between that and the bank. We went every Saturday to the matinee.

Q: Was the Drug Store there with the fountain?

A: Yes, that was where I got my first job after I got a Social Security card. I had to be sixteen before I could start working there. I got my Social Security card and started working there behind the fountain in the drug store. Jim Kelly owned it at that time.

Q: Anything special happen there?

A: No, it was just a gathering place for all the kids.

Q: How long did you work there?

A: I worked there one full summer and then after school for quite awhile. Then I guess I had to do more work at home.

Q: You said you were the fifth of nine children. How many came to Moab?

A: There were seven of us. My two oldest sisters were both married when we moved to Utah. The rest of us came. The next oldest only stayed here a month or two, then she went to Salt Lake and got a job; she didn’t live here very long but she would come back to visit.

Q: Do you have relatives living here in Moab?

A: Our daughter, Ann, lives here. My brother, Junior’s, widow, Pat Garlett, lives here. She is my sister-in-law. Then one of my sisters lives in Blanding now. She got remarried about a year ago and moved to Blanding.
