1
00:00:01,66 --> 00:00:05,31
How many people work years

2
00:00:08,80 --> 00:00:13,42
on I'm going to guess about sixty.

3
00:00:16,14 --> 00:00:21,78
They range from very small children to
high school age and as I recall when

4
00:00:23,49 --> 00:00:27,88
they reached the age of eighteen
which is considered to be

5
00:00:27,88 --> 00:00:34,15
a young adult they would disappear
from the camp go live somewhere else

6
00:00:34,89 --> 00:00:40,76
because they had reached that age which the
government had no more or the orphanage

7
00:00:40,76 --> 00:00:45,82
had no more responsibility
for them. What kind of

8
00:00:50,30 --> 00:00:53,99
. Our our barracks were
ready for us. We had

9
00:00:53,99 --> 00:00:57,53
a nice the syllabi I think they were

10
00:00:57,53 --> 00:01:03,77
a little better built and
the regular barracks.

11
00:01:04,27 --> 00:01:10,100
Because they were built for the
orphanage. And as I recall

12
00:01:13,51 --> 00:01:19,47
there were large dormitories. And
I can only speak for the boys.

13
00:01:21,17 --> 00:01:27,85
We had where I was was like for I'm
going to say kindergarten through

14
00:01:27,85 --> 00:01:33,28
fifth grade. And then the other wing
was like maybe six through high school

15
00:01:35,13 --> 00:01:39,76
but we were split. And the little kids are
on one side and the big kids were on the

16
00:01:39,76 --> 00:01:45,03
other side. And in between.
It was the counselors

17
00:01:47,43 --> 00:01:50,81
quarters and we were very
fortunate in that we had

18
00:01:50,81 --> 00:01:57,52
a wonderful counselor by the
name of John who guided us

19
00:01:58,63 --> 00:02:02,57
and gave us assistance as
we needed in our growing up

20
00:02:09,72 --> 00:02:14,33
guys. With the regular
folks you know you had

21
00:02:14,33 --> 00:02:19,53
a mess hall was kind of funny.

22
00:02:21,43 --> 00:02:28,31
We were told that we were told
we could have as much rice

23
00:02:28,32 --> 00:02:34,11
and brown gravy as we wanted. And
that became our major staple.

24
00:02:35,12 --> 00:02:39,13
We were also told that because there was

25
00:02:39,13 --> 00:02:46,04
a meat storage that sometimes we were eating
meat that was horse meat. I don't know

26
00:02:46,04 --> 00:02:52,72
whether that was. Somebodies
imagination. I recall being told

27
00:02:52,72 --> 00:02:56,98
that some of our gravy was
made from horse to me

28
00:03:01,19 --> 00:03:07,99
it was the rice and that was really

29
00:03:10,18 --> 00:03:14,03
I think it was probably more convenient
how would I know I'm seven years old six

30
00:03:14,03 --> 00:03:20,97
years old but you could always get
more rice and gravy. What did

31
00:03:20,97 --> 00:03:27,91
your daily life come to settle. One of

32
00:03:27,91 --> 00:03:34,68
the things it's kind of blocked out in my
mind and I don't know why it is. I don't

33
00:03:34,68 --> 00:03:41,61
remember very well the my school days. I

34
00:03:41,61 --> 00:03:45,80
remember a little bit about
them. In that we had

35
00:03:45,80 --> 00:03:51,60
a class we went to school.
And we had tables and

36
00:03:52,60 --> 00:03:59,23
straight back. No no straight
backs just stools benches that we

37
00:03:59,23 --> 00:04:05,21
sat on behind the table and did our
schoolwork. So. For some reason I don't know

38
00:04:05,21 --> 00:04:06,04
why I don't have

39
00:04:06,04 --> 00:04:13,54
a lot of memories about that.
Hard typical day it was as

40
00:04:13,55 --> 00:04:19,78
I remember it was getting up. We each had

41
00:04:19,78 --> 00:04:25,83
a responsibility to make our bed. We each
had their responsibility to brush our

42
00:04:25,83 --> 00:04:32,49
teeth were sharp faces.
We would go to the. The

43
00:04:34,54 --> 00:04:41,06
mess hall or we would have
our meals. And then we would

44
00:04:41,06 --> 00:04:47,87
return to just be kids.
That's the best wagons

45
00:04:47,87 --> 00:04:54,76
clane because remember we're on the
little side. Now on the big side. I

46
00:04:54,76 --> 00:05:01,20
recall. Those people had more
responsibilities than we had

47
00:05:03,22 --> 00:05:08,80
and I'm sure that we tried to get out of
some of those duties. Whenever we could.
