When my papa was younger than me, he lived in a city called Billings,
Montana, but like Alabama, he doesn’t remember it. Also like Alabama, he
went back a few times when he was older to visit friends of the family. He
only lived there for real for three years before my grandpa found a better
job in Wyoming. For three years, he worked at things that my dad calls odd
jobs, which means that they didn’t last very long. He was always very
stressed and angry because he lost his factory job, but he was still a very
nice man. He always gave my cousins a lot of great presents before he died. Grandpa
died eight years ago, so I never knew him. He was born in Montana, and lived
there for many years before he had his own kids. He retired in Florida, but
that’s a story for another slide. I’m telling you about Montana now, which
is where my papa lived until he was three. The house that they lived in was
very small, because his family didn’t have very much money. He and his
sister had to share a room with the dog. When my grandma was talking about
this, she said that my papa was the best baby she had ever met in her life.
Her daughter was a very fussy baby, but not my papa. Papa’s sister, who is
my aunt, was only two years older than him, so she was born in 1971. Her
name is Aunt Cooper. My grandma said that papa was a very happy baby, who
was happy where they were living. Luckily, he didn’t have to be like that
for very long when his father got a great opportunity to run a new plant in
Wyoming. You can go to the next slide to hear about that.
