| Vivian's holding the ball |
Vivian was raised on a farm which contained a small sod home with three poles in the center to hold it up. Chickens,
pigs, goats, turkeys. At two, Vivian had great compassion for animals. Infact that she would go around following little
chicks and would move the rocks from their path so that they could get by. But unfortunatly, one rock was so heavy that
she ended up dropping the rock right on the small chick.
Vivian lived in Alton, MO. until she was 16 when they moved to Gillette,Wyoming. During the move Mabel, Vivian
and Helen got sick and completed the journey by train while Ray continued moving the cattle by wagon to Gillette. Vivian attended
her Freshman year of school at Oshkosh, NB. where she lived with her Aunt Leah. Then continued her Sofmore and junior year
in in Campbell county High. Then finished her senior year with American schools.
