MA: So is there any, you know, any other thoughts that you'd like to share or memories that we didn't talk about?

LS: Well... I can't think of anything offhand, other than that my husband and I, along with his brothers and sister, ran a produce store, and we were there for a long time. And then we went our own way, we had a grocery store, we ran that for about fourteen years, and then we sold that. Then after that we went to a greenhouse, temporary, seasonal greenhouse, semi-retired, you call it.

MA: So you did a lot of small business work.

LS: Yeah.

MA: Was that mainly in Denver?

LS: Yes, uh-huh. Mainly in Denver and north Denver, where we are now.

MA: Are you still active with the, do you still have the greenhouse?

LS: No, we sold it, we sold it after my husband became ill, and he passed away almost two years ago now. And so I go and help the new owner just on weekends when he needs me, but other than that, I don't do anything.

MA: And where are you living now?

LS: In Thorton, north Denver.

MA: North Denver, okay.

LS: Been there for a long time.

MA: Great. Well, thank you for sharing your story.

LS: I hope I was helpful.

MA: You were.
