No no no lon-- my farming days were pretty well over by the time I finished high-school 'cause then I went on to ah- to college.

... ah Phillip, he- I think he just played one year, he went on to become a city (inc) police officer and Chris was about ah four years with the ah- in the National-Hockey-League playing both National and American League pretty well all the time with the Maple-Leafs. He's now a financial consultant in Toronto.

Where there's no income. And- and some of them you-know after a few years were moving away from the area so it's- it's pretty well debunked now like ah Breckon which is north here, they've got a- a men's baseball team but they draw from a fairly large area now.

Well we used to come together at times and- when ah- back in those days we pretty well all had snow machines and we'd ah get together on Saturday nights and the one- the one family they had a- a cabin back in the bush and we used to get into the jungle juice as well-

My father he had it pretty well figured out. He'd- used to- he'd always, the later you were getting home at night, the earlier he'd get you up in the morning.

... I'm going to say Beaverton 'cause that's where we are right now is a- is a pretty clean town and a pretty well-kept.

Interviewer: Um, what about um- did you go to church a lot as a kid? Speaker: Well we were (laughs)- went to Sunday-School pretty well every Sunday.

... so dad would just draw them back through that way, instead of coming out towards Lanark. ... That would be it, yeah pretty well.

Interviewer: So, did you talk to everyone, or just the only- just the people in your grade? Speaker: Oh no, you could talk with anyone. Interviewer: Yeah. Did everyone know each other? Speaker: Pretty well. It was a small community.

Interviewer: Yeah, and so what did you do at weddings? Speaker: They- pretty well the same thing they do now, eh?

Interviewer: Wow. Did you have any brothers or sisters? ... Did you get along with all of them? Speaker: Ah pretty well, yeah.

Interviewer: Yeah, what was- how did you do that? Speaker: Laid a sheep on the table, and just take the shears and take the wool off, eh? Interviewer: Really? They would just lay down? You didn't have to catch them or anything? Speaker: No they pretty well come to you like, you-know. Interviewer: Wow, those were some pretty accommodating sheep.

Then if they're going farther out in the field, they'd go make themselves sandwiches, and take them out, and then they'd- say about four-o'clock they had a little bit to eat, and then they never had nothing, 'til it was pretty well getting dark already, that they couldn't work out in the field, then they'd come and make a big supper.

... we had a theatre in town, and we would go to the theatre. ... No I don't remember the first time I- I went. Not- not the first time, but I- I remember going, and we would go pretty-well every Saturday. And they had cute little love-seats at the time. You could sit two in a- two in a seat.

Well you have to wa-- oh yeah, you have to wait 'til it really get good cold weather and-stuff-like-that, you can't just when it first comes on, you got to wait but usually on shore when it freezes up, you-know, it's pretty well safe, you stay close to shore.

And ah yeah so each p-- each person or- or group of people takes on a specific job and then it- it usually goes pretty well and if there is a snag, like if a waitress forgets to come or something happens or-whatever you-know you get a group of people and you don't have a table for them, what do you do? You-know? You kind-of work around that ...

... in Ottawa, I was taking courses and my husband was working on construction in Ottawa and yeah, one of the ah students died, drowned. So we had to come to that week and- and actually it was a relative of my husband's. So yeah. But otherwise that class has done pretty well, most of them. Yeah. There's one kid I think that's kind of screwy but most of them, yeah.

Interviewer: So what classes then- you shared together? ... Like girls and boys. ... Speaker: Well like everything, pretty well everything else. Like we did arts and science so it was like ah- geography, history, all-that-stuff, English, that was- French. That was all boys and girls. There was never anywhere really in any of our schools here that they were segregated apart.

Interviewer: So how do you check that there's no bees in the- that'll be a little scary, wouldn't it (laughs)? ... Speaker: Once they gets a couple of frosts, they're pretty well gone.

Interviewer: You just work all the time? Speaker: Pretty well, yeah, I work ah, during the winter from four in the morning 'til six at night.
