MA: So you stayed with your aunt and uncle then for a couple months like you said, and then moved with this German man.

LS: I don't think we even stayed there a couple months. Probably, 'cause there were so many of 'em, my grandmother and my grandfather was there, all my aunts were there. And my younger brother and younger sister came to Colorado with my grandma and grandpa.

MA: So they came a little later?

LS: By train. No, they came ahead of us.

MA: Oh, I'm sorry, ahead of you by train. Who was this German man that you worked for?

LS: His name was Heinz, I don't know what his first name is, he had one daughter, he was a widower.

MA: And was he a recent immigrant?

LS: No, no. He had one daughter that was going to college.

MA: And what was your relationship with him? Was he pretty friendly?

LS: Oh, he was nice, uh-huh. He was pretty understanding. In fact, a lot of them in the country were understanding. The teacher was so nice.
