Mavis Elizabeth Hadder

When I moved away from home I stayed with Grandma. She said my rent was $30 a month for food. She supported me while I was getting on my feet and encouraged me when I was trying to get my first job away from home. I rode my bike to work until it was too cold and then she gave me rides to work until I got my first car. Friday nights when I had a night off we would rent 5 movies for $5 from the video store and then get a Jack's pizza from the grocery store. She also brought me to see the water ski shows in New London. I didn't know it then but those were simpler times. She was very kind. Those were great times.
