>I remember the snow of 1950, too....I had forgotten all about it. >We had just moved to Eugene and we walked 15 blocks to the Mayflower >Theater on the UofO campus. John Wayne was starring in Iwo Jima. >Mama wore longjohns under her circle skirt. I remember this one too, I was a little kid and sick all that winter; dear older sister brought home the mumps, measles, and chicken pox one right after the other. She barely got sick, I nearly died mom said. She and dad went out and built an igloo as the snow was so deep and just the right moisture, this was in Marysville Washington that time. I got to go out just long enough to have my picture taken with it and then rushed back into the house. What a bummer that was, I still love snow so long as I don't have to drive in it. I am with Carole I don't do snow or ice. Thanks for the fun stories, Janice Janice M. Healy Co-compiler of "Oregon Burial Site Guide" Aloha, Oregon U.S.A.
