Attended the Van Hook, Foster and Willard country schools. The Willard country school was taught by my Mother, grades 1-8.I met my first husband Darrold Grant Johnston at Ekalaka High School, we married and had two of our three daughters delivered by Dr. Sandy of Ekalaka. Surviving the adversities of the great depression I moved west to California in the 1940’s and worked in various occupations. I married David Kirkish in 1959. Now a widow and a Century old, I decided to write my story. I currently live with my daughter in Orangevale, California. I had three daughters, two step-daughters, nine grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and seven, great-great-grandchildren.view less
