MA: So can you describe maybe when you were attending Penngrove, a typical day for you? What it would like, what time you would get up, and all of that.

IN: Well, I would get up early and tend to the ranch, help my father with the ranch. And then my mother made our lunch. We would walk the mile and a half to school. School started about, I think eight o'clock. We did our reading, writing, and arithmetic. We had recesses, and I was pretty good in sports. [Laughs] One of the better girls. Had lunch... it was a typical rural school routine. Nothing much different. We didn't have sophisticated subjects. But we did have music, I played the piano a little bit.

MA: And then after school would you go home and help out again at the ranch?

IN: Oh, sure. Pack, pick up the eggs, pack 'em. Clean them and then pack 'em, and then put them in the case.

MA: And would the eggs be shipped, or driven somewhere to be shipped? Or were they sold locally, do you know?

IN: I think they were shipped. I don't know if it was shipped nationally, but certainly in the Northern California area. I'm not sure on that.
