When it was time to get up and say thank you I couldn't say a word. I think my throat had a tennis ball stuck in it. Mom took over and made a nice little talk and I stood by her speechless as a giraffe. The people around Broadland were a swell group.
When we made the grain cut off it was 30° below zero. Allan Stevenson made the cut-off for Walt Lytle. It was the first time I had ever seen him.
When we were ready to move Claus Meidema and a man by the name of Osman backed up their trucks and loaded up the furniture. They moved us to Redfield and wouldn't take a cent. I finally got them to take enough money for the gas. It cost P.V. two hundred and fifty dollars to move the new manager in from North Dakota and he cost them more than that before he was through.
When we left Broadland of course we left Rusty with Herb. He had a good home as long as he lived.
We also had a cat. I went with one of the trucks and mom brought the car.
