 I think
it is neat how we got to have people come and tell us
some oral history. It
is cool that Mrs. Purdom is from Bear Lake. It was funny
when Mr. Purdom said he had a sickness that old people
got when he was a kid. I just liked it that they were
able to come here and talk to us about their childhood.

Following the
presentation by Mr. and Mrs. Purdom, the students were
able to ask questions. These digital photographs were
taken by the students.

 Dear Mr.
& Mrs. Purdum.
Thank you for coming to our classroom. I aprecheate all
the stories and answers for the questions we asked. I
loved every little story that you told. You were both
very honest. I can't believe that ice cream was a nickel.
I know how you feel Mrs. Purdom. I have an older brother.
I also know how you feel Mr. Purdom. I have moved many
places. I'd like to thank our crew and Mrs. Pebodie
because without them none of this could happen. I
aprecheate you coming and you can come back any time.
Sincerely,
Travis
I
thought it was really neat how Mrs. Purdom got her hair
permed. She said they
used metal curlers with wires attached to them. I thought
it sounded very scarey. It was also neat how Mr. Purdom
talked about the blackouts. A blackout is when everybody
turns off their lights and goes to a safe spot. They did
that during World War II. The police went around and made
sure all the lights were out. It was also pretty neat
when they said a box of ice cream was only a dime. Some
of the candy was only a penny too. They also said you
paid a little to go to the theatre and you could stay and
watch movies all day. It was really neat when Mr. Purdom
talked about his first job. His first job was a pin
setter at a bowling alley. I think it would have been
neat to be alive back then. …Anna
