MA: And then you have four children, is that right?

KY: Right.

MA: And what are their names?

KY: Oldest one is Dale, he's fifty-four right now, he's an actuary, lives in Chicago. And the second one is Karen. Oh, going back, Dale, he went to Washington State University, and after two years he, oh, he went to University of Nebraska, so he graduated from the University of Nebraska in actuary. Then my second one is a daughter, Karen, she attended Washington State, WSU, and she's a veterinarian, and she's married to another veterinarian. And my third son, Clyde, went to, couple years at Shoreline Community College in Seattle, but now he has his own business in (...) Everett. (Narr. note: Near Boeing's Paine Field, employs thirty workers.) And my youngest is DeAnn, she went, also went to WSU, she's a, she works for the King County Sexual (Assault) Resource Center in Renton, she's been there eighteen years now. That's it, the four kids. And I have six grandkids.

MA: Six grandkids?

KY: Six grandkids.

MA: Are they all, what's the age range of your grandkids?

KY: The oldest is sixteen, and the youngest is eleven. So they're not quite adults yet.

MA: So then your kids kind of moved all over, then, from Spokane? No one stayed in Spokane?

KY: Well, they all left Spokane to go to school, but luckily the second one came back to, she has a home in Liberty Lake, and she has her business in Liberty Lake. But she was, she had her business in Seattle, and the whole family moved back to Spokane, and she has three boys. So that's, that's the family I have here in town.
