Comments from the FB posting:

Susie Schaap Wow, she lived in the heart of the dust bowl!

Arlene Lipman Yeah! I always thought she loved gardening because she lived on that farm as a girl but found out that her mother didn't let her do the garden, instead she learned to sew and majored in Home Ec when she went to college. She went to 4 different colleges because she stayed with her older brother and helping with his kids. She attended Colorado Normal College (now UNC), Colorado Aggies (now CSU), the University of New Mexico, and the University of Utah.

Susie Schaap Any one living through the dust bowl would appreciate gardening!

Arlene Lipman True

Delena F Previd Grandma Craig wanted our mother to get an education. They had helped my uncle Dock get an education so said you help Athena........ families did that and she got an education. She taught school, and loved to sew. Mom and Dad had a garden to make the income stretch. ......
