Teen Years

From Dora Baty Argyle

When I grew older, I used to spend time with my cousin, Beth Pace.  We used to pick cherries and also go the horse races at Lagoon near Farmington.  When it came time to go to school, Ora and I were the only children left at home.  All of our brothers had jobs and were married and Edna was a bookkeeper and lived in Ogden, Utah with Norma and her husband, Chick.  Mother stayed on the ranch with father and Ora, and I went and rented a room in the Call home and went to school.  We had lots of fun going to dances and having dates with boys.  This was in Chesterfield, Idaho, in my teen years.  I seemed quite lucky in being able to get dates, so I would take my sister along.

Across the Dance Floor

Lamar Perkins met Louise Banks at a dance in Montpelier, Idaho.  He was on one side of the dance floor and she on the other.  She told a friend she’d like to meet him.  He saw her across the room and told a friend he’d like to meet her.  They were introduced and the rest is history.
