Family Rembrances Cont.

My Mother was born and raised in a two room log cabin in Wyo. Ten children were part of this package. . actually thirteen, but three of them died. She vowed that she was never gong to be poor again in her life and from the time she was fifteen. . she was NOT poor! She gave music lessons, opened a music school, had well over a hundred students and with this money she helped put two sisters and one brother on Missions for the Mormon Church. She also paid her way to BYU where she continued to support herself by playing in a music dance band, "Potter, Poulsen and Pate."
She was called on a Mission to the eastern states and in the process took the Book Of Mormon, cut it into installments which were put in CBS radio and they ran for several years. Each installment ended in a cliff hanger which brought a lot of listeners to the program. She was asked to stay an extra year. She met a successful New York banker, became engaged and was speaking in Church when she met my Father who was a hot shot pilot with the military. The banker's engagement dissolved and she took after Robert W. Stewart until she caught him.
