Subject Log / Time Code

4:25
BA remembers visiting Kansas with her father and trying to find his grandmother’s grave.
12:41
BA’s father fought in WWII and was aboard a submarine. The family knew not to ask him about his experiences, but BA once asked him if his submarine was ever shot at. He answered, ‘I don’t know, if they shot at us they missed.’
15:07
Growing up on the farm, BA’s father remembered how there would be other local farmers who would sometimes come and play at their house and his mom would bake pies for the occasion.
18:12
BA lists some of her father’s chores on the farm. He hated having to deal with the cows because they were ‘stupid.’ If there was a blizzard, he would have to turn them around to make sure they wouldn’t suffocate from inhaling too many snowflakes.
35:42
For BA the takeaway of her father’s upbringing is to ‘be productive and do something’ with your life.
