TI: Okay, so Harry, before we go, finish high school, I want to know, like, other activities besides school. Did you do, like, sports, any sports?

HU: Not much, not much. Because we have to help on the farm, leisure times.

TI: So when you did have some leisure time, though, I know you had to work on the farm, but there must have been days when you could go out and maybe go fishing or other activities like that, hunting, or something like that?

HU: Hunting was my best sport. I had four guns of different kinds. Because I was able to hunt on my land. But I got word from my oldest brother, when they were about to evacuate, the farthest corner of the farm, he dug a hole and buried all my guns. [Laughs]

TI: But before we talk about that, so you loved hunting. What kind of guns did you have and what kind of hunting did you do? Can you describe the hunting for me?

HU: I don't understand what you mean.

TI: Well, so what kind of things did you hunt? I mean, what did you hunt for?

HU: Pheasants, jackrabbits, squirrels.

TI: And for, like, the pheasants, what kind of gun did you use for pheasants?

HU: Sometimes I used a rifle, sometimes I used a shotgun.

TI: And when you went pheasant hunting, did you do it with other people or did you have a dog, or how did you do it?

HU: No, no. Like pheasants, we're not supposed to shoot. Or robin, they like to come over and, in the fall, eat grapes, we weren't supposed to shoot with a rifle. I have more meat leftover.

TI: Okay, good.

HU: Well, let's go on.

TI: Okay, let's go on. After, you said, I stopped you when you were talking about right after high school. So what did you do after high school? And just to clarify, you graduated from high school, what, 1933? Do you remember what year?

HU: 1934.

TI: 1934.
