My childhood home? Yes, I was born actually in Kingsland. And,
Uh, That's up by the wash. It's where England
comes down like that. It's real neat up there. um,
It's near Sandrum Castle where the queens, one of the queens
houses where. Beautiful grounds. And you're allowed to go all
over the grounds and everything and it's all woods and sand
because it's near coast line, so that's where I was born
and then I joined the war I was brought up to London
and we moved down there.. I used to make clothes for the family. I decided
what I want to was dress making and designing things, so
I started off as an apprentice and that's what you do, so I was
at work at fifteen. and, um, I worked for two of the top ten fashion
houses in London which made clothes for the Royal
family. That's where I started off and, um, I did
leave that night then and became a mechanic. I could fix cars. So,
then, that's when I offered that and that's when I met my husband.
and that's when I came over to the states. Well, I like the Hilltop. I'm happy here.
It reminds me of of London. Well, I am self taught on a computer, and
I think for my age I'm not bad. I know my programs. Um, I type set,
ads. Um, do a lot of work for Kiwanis, um, air
commission. I used to HBA, Hilltop Business Association, I used
to do a lot of work with I do four block watches, and I help them through
Kiwanis and some newsletters. I do at this point, I do. I service
in newsletters, which I typed set through the computer.
Everything is computer. I can't write anymore. My handwriting is not good. So, that's just
because I'm old. Oh, I don't know. Um, we've discussed a lot
of things but that Hilltop has a lot of history and they...did
you go to the bean dinner? Yeah! That's diverse. There is a lot
of fun. They used to have a fishing boat there, and they don't
do that any and the business association used to send
people, a group of people took a shock for the hatchers and
fill the pool up that you know that little fountain thing that
fish, and then they would have people. Fishing contests, and with
the biggest fish or how many fish. That was neat and Mount
Carmel would come come over there and pay for kids games. They
would have to jump in machines and all sorts of things.
It's neat. Did you enjoy the bean dinner? Yeah? That's
a good thing. Nice community festival which is free apart
from the food. it should be.
What do you want? [Laughs] You're welcome.
