The Frontier Kid

I should go back to my trapping times in December and mention that I had a dog that was a very good mink dog. During that 1938 December, I had caught two male mink with prime coats. They brought $25 each. Which at that time was really high priced for fur, because the world it seems were short that kind of fur. A little later on, that probably was the reason quite a few people went into mink farming and raised them for profit. You might say that this is most of the action and reactions that took place during the time leading up to my marriage, which I will say is the second phase of this story. With the exception of this… I should go back to 1937, which was probably the most important year of my life, and other things that I remember. For one thing, I met Ardis Dickey. She was in the 11th grade. She was in the skating rink. (See other sheet). However, the other thing that I will always remember that year, was in July of 1937, that aviator Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Nooman , disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first around-the-world flight. And, in those years prior to 1940, Adolf Hitler was invading Poland and Yugoslavia and those countries north of Germany, including eventually Russia, which eventually caused World War II.
