BH: Now, how did you meet your future husband Jim?

SF: Oh, that's a long story. [Laughs] He would come to the... first of all, I think I used to see him playing basketball, and then later on he would come to the restaurant, and he would come and just sit around. So we became friends, so we would go out. And then things got a little serious, and Mom was telling me, "You sure that you want to marry a farmer?" So we got married and had five children.

BH: And when were you married?

SF: 1950.

BH: And where did you live?

SF: We lived in Troutdale, close to the farm.

BH: Tell me the names of your children.

SF: Well, the oldest one is Cheryl, and her nickname is Twinkle because her aunt couldn't say "Cheryl," and Twinkle used to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star all the time, so she started calling her Twinkle. Next one is Jill, she doesn't have a nickname. And then there's Ron, and after Ron there's Patty, and then Ray.

BH: And how many grandchildren do you have?

SF: I have four, and they're all graduated and out of school.

BH: And what are their names?

SF: Bailey. Bailey belongs to Cheryl, and their last name is Zhanheiser. And Nick, Nicholas, they belong to Cheryl and Rich. And then there's Ron, Ron has two girls, Rachael, and the other one is Kelby.
