good.

Orson Clark: Maureen was to the funeral in a wheel chair.

Ruth Knowlton: Yes, I saw her there.

Orson Clark: She is living with her daughter in Boise. I understood them to say that she was going to come up and stay with one of them for a few months. I didn't get who it was or when, but they did say that she came earlier than she expected because of the funeral and she was going to stay here. But I don't know which one.

Ruth Knowlton: We'll have to find out.

Orson Clark: So, I can't tell you much about the activities of Bryant. Except he was industrious. He was a nice chap, everybody liked him. He did well. Have you ever been to the Colonies?

Ruth Knowlton: Yes.

Orson Clark: Well, you know where they live. You know about the set up.

Interviewer: He did very well with his apples down there, too.

Orson Clark: Yes, he does a good job. When we were down there three or four years ago, he had bought some young trees and he was planting some more. But he has done well in the apple business. That's good.

Interviewer: Do you have any early stories about Rulon?

Orson Clark: Rulon, in his earlier days, was quite a chunky. He was strong. It was back in the days when you used to pitch hay. We would cut it and rake it, you know.

Interviewer: I've had my experience with that. I know all about that.

Orson Clark: Rulon and one of the men from here, Jess Turner, they used to be the field pitchers. When they were hauling it, they would drive over to the far end of the field, turn in between the rows with a row on each side. They would start the horses just walking. Those two boys would throw the piles of hay on the wagon. They would keep up with the wagon.

Interviewer: Did they have a stacker on the wagon?

Orson Clark: I was the stacker for years.

Ruth Knowlton: I'll bet you really had to work fast.
