We were considered resorters, as we did not have Walloon as our permanent residences.
These fellows were locals, that is, they lived in Walloon. and continued to live there after his parents died. Bud had been born and raised in his parents' house all his life. Bud worked for years for Alfred Hass both junior and senior, digging ditches for their water mains and generally being the one person who knew where the lines and meters were buried, no small task. A woman resorter asked him once what school he had graduated from and he said, ‘Shetland University.’ Of course there was no such university, but the woman didn’t realize that and took his reply as truth.īud Brill was also one of the local ‘characters’, but of a different kind. He was what is known as a ‘character’, of stocky build and medium height he was a jovial person and was always joking. Heinie Grund was also one whom I looked up to. They were both grown men while I was only a boy but I respected them for being real men and good friends. He used a D-handled shovel and managed it with marvelous skill. He could wield an axe as proficiently as a two handed man as well as handle a shovel. He and his wife raised a large family in spite of his handicap and Joe often worked for me when I grew up. Another who drew my attention and praise was Joe Miller, a big husky man who had lost an arm in an accident as a young man. A good and conscientious worker, he always had the correct idea of just how things should be done.
He was a tall, gangling farmer who had very good ideas on many subjects and I got Clyde to help me in putting up some buildings and sought his advice about a number of problems. "Another individual I took a definite fancy to was Clyde Kent.
