“Getting an education in the 1930’s was not as important as it is today,” Reta reflected. “We had a large family. Education was not the priority. I remember my dad saying, ‘We have a large family to do the work.’ Children did not have all the after school activities like they have today. It was a different time. Early in life we were taught to work: housework, milking cows, chores and looking after little ones with no modern conveniences. Aside from not having extra money, my father generally regarded other activities as wasted time. After Reta Harper told me some of her life story, I thought her work ethic lessons probably helped her through her life.
