although we were not a church family, we were not allowed to swear, I was sure the bad words I had heard would be in the dictionary.
I felt for years that I was not smart enough to be in the twins class, hindsight shows me how ashamed and angry this made me. When school was out I went home to my folks for one year. At age 12, I had a friend who's cousin was a personal manager at American Packing Co. in a town 8 miles away. The war had started taking the boys out of the workplace. My friend lied to her telling her I was 16 even though I had to be 18, never mind, I got the job. I lived in a rooming house by myself, after work I found friends to hang out with. Most of the time we would hang out in the huge train station. I met a boy who was 7 years older than me and soon we became an item. His family lived in North Iowa and when he got in SOS to come home, he went back and I went with him. He worked on the farm and I did house work...
Talk to you tomorrow.
