Lindgren Family - New York Trip with Robert 17 December 2024 - Day 1

My Boarding pass for the route for Portland Oregon to New York City, New York. The bus ride from the airport was without seat belts, on very skinny 3 aisle roads, one way, bumpy, with drivers aiming their way through very small openings in other lanes causing others to honk. All of the Yellow Cabs first letter on the license plates as a Y- standing for a designation of "Yellow Cabs". After the Y were numbers.

Lindgren Family - Duane Lindgren - Remembrences - 3rd draft

Brian was "playing with matchess and somehow the fire escaped" to the neighbors wood fence. They started to "put" the fire out with the hose, and then the fire department came to put it out. I don't think anyone knew that I started the fire. I never got in trouble. [It was] on Greywood street, in Lakewood Village.

I (Brian) went back to Lakewood and we passed Greywood street and I recognized the old house, and then we went over to the friends, we told them they had a house on Greywood. It was $1,015 house in the mid 40's. It was in a subdivision of single lot builds.

**************
Duane
Dad was an air raid warden during the war, and they built a station where I set the fire in the lot. 

Dad would go around to make sure everyone had covered their windows.

The government told people that during an attack, to cover themselves with their mattress or get under the table. Duane felt a wet spot on his chest. He yelled, "I'm hit! I'm Hit!" Mom hadn't cleared the table of liquids.

Dad and a neighbor built a bombshelter in back which was 8 feet deep and 10-15 feet long. They brought huge thick timbers to use as a roof. The first year it rained the bomb shelter was

When we lived in Nutwood, the truck that Dad and Duane would drive out to the dump was a 1929 Chevrolet pick up

The 41 Chevy truck had a windshield that cranked out. I went to throw bottles into the pit and Anne hit me in the head. Thank heavens I didn't.

*********************

Carl and Helen/Pat had a Cocker Spaniel which was named Doodle, and probably came into the family when Carl and Helen/Pat were living in Arkanas. Karen says: "I remember one story Mom told me about the dog's paws being burned walking across hoot asphalt and how Daddy would pick up the dog to take him outside, he felt so sorry for him

********************

Duane and "The Street Sweepers".

Our club was named "The Street Sweepers". Duane joined the club before he joined the army in 1954. He had the 41 Ford pick up truck, which was an oxidized green color, with a 353 cubic inch, overhead valve, Oldsmobile engine, V8 motor. A welder on Ball road put it together. At some time later, I blew up the rear end, the Ford rear end had something that sheered off. It had trouble with the transmission so we put an Oldsmobile transmission in it. Then had to change the drive shafts - and would only accept an open tube drive line. (Oldsmobile/Mercury) There was so much torque that the partial bars broke, and the bars separated from the differential.

The Street Sweepers would get a Halloween car for 1938 buick 4 door for 30-40 bucks.

The guy who was driving said: "Lets try to see how fast we could turn a corner at 40 miles an hour. It was a right hand corner. The lug nuts pulled right through the holes on the rim, and lost the wheel.

*****************

Duane was 19 years old when he went into the army, for 2 years and then then 1 year active reserve. He got out in 1959.

*****************

Swedish grandma story

Nice sweet ladly - had 7-8 kids - 1

She was ironing in the alcove when she heard her daughters talking how much fun sex was. She asked "It's supposed to be fun?"

"Oopie" was her exclamation. 

She made delicious rice pudding everytime us kids showed up.

*****************************

Per Karen "when I was pregnant with Travis, Denis and I drove up to see Duane and Gery. Denis decided we should go to Yosemite for the day, so we drive over there and Duane kept driving around the valley and asking me if I felt any labor twinges? He kept leaning over,  looking at me and saying "Are you sure you don't feel anything? wouldn't it be cool to say you were born in Yosemite?"

*******************************

Duane met two kings, probably while working in the private - the King of Saudi Arabia and the King of Jordan, as well as the Shah of Iran before he was deposed! The Shah went to their project in Tabriz and Duane showed him around, ( He also met the Empress whom he said was extremely beautiful.)

Another interesting thing about living in Iran was that he and Geri got picked up be a Soviet border patrol station!

Yes, they were detained for eight hours for question until the Soviets could find someone who spoke English. It turned out to be a doctor who had treated Geri for a cut hand, so he said they were not suspicious Americans, just dumb ones who went out driving in a four-wheel- drive without identification papers. 

*******************************

Duane passed on 7 September 2023, just 2 days short of the 1 year anniversary of Brian's passing. He was living in a nursing home for approximately 1 year plus. It was close to Karen's house so she could she him fairly frequently.

Clarke Family - Helen Louise Clarke Lindgren's Diary

I received this diary from Karen Louise Lindgren Bradford on or about January 2020. She had brought family artifacts to a "Lindgren Cousin's Reunion".

This diary reads as follows:

                                                    June 6 1925
Dear Diary

        Altho' again belong to Helen I'm sure she won't mind if I use the first page. Please Diary dear let me tell you something, don't ever plan to have a surprise party or Helen she don't even give you a chance to wrap up her presents.

    We all of us think she is the best ever and we all love her but Anabel is yelling, "Hurry", to me so I'll have to stop now.

    Diary dear we both of us wish her the happiest birthday possible don't we?

-Dot-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June 7, 1925

Diary Dear -

    What oodles I've got to tell you. So much, I don't know where to begin, but anyway I'll start now.

June 20, 1925

    Dearest Diary - (Please notice the change in spelling "Dear & Diary) well anyway I have got a lot to tell you. I haven't written in my diary for a long time, 'cause I didn't have any paper or notebook. But now I have this [and] here goes. On some scratch paper I wrote some of the events between May 4th (last date in my old notebook) and June 20 - Most important fact is that Hope's dead - I wrote it out more in detail on the scratch paper, and don't feel like it now. I'll start with the week June 8th - 12th which was important because of the Y's Formal  Opening. That is the y.w.c.a., the new building has just been completed in five stories high, a patio in the center and absolutely keen in every respect. Well Monday nite the 8th we had a Fire lighting ceremony - the Junior High School girl Reserve [?] and I presided at it {Tues. afternoon Teachers Reception at Y. took Mr. Stone and Miss Beqoier.

    Inter Triangle Council meeting not much of anything that night at the Y - But that afternoon at home! Chuck came up and we were sitting on the bench outside and he didn't talk very much. I rather joked him about it and asked why and found out that he was rather "cut up" about other boy's hanging around me - He felt rather bad about it - and wondered quite  anxiously about it too - that is if I liked him best - so I caught his hand and told him everything was Ok. (You know how I mean Diary dear) and he, well - squeezed it in just the nicest way - not freshly at all but just as a sort of "Thank you" for saying that Thats the way it meant to me  - Just like a pal's handshake, then as ___ __ I had to go in, we were standing in front of the house, and as I remember it, I said "You much think I'm silly" (or something like that / and he

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

nodded "No" and said, "I'm in love with you"! Just as quietly and sincerely I've known he liked me best, but it rather surprised me to have him say that - then he turned and hopped on his bike and started after just saying goodbye - All that evening and the next day those first words kept going over in my mind and caused (this is silly!) a funny feeling in the bottom of my tummy! I hate to admit it but its true anyway. Whenever I read a love scene in a book or see one in a motion picture my tummy feels strange - but thats really in so awfully sincere and in earnest that it makes me feel more than ever that I shouldn't let the other boys hang around so Well anyway the next day was\Wednesday th 18th of June.

     In the afternoon, I conducted a Formal g.R. initiatian at the Y and in the evening attended the Junior Civic League Cabinet and Representation banquet at the Imperial Inn. It was 75[cents] and rather decent too. Chuck had took me home.

Sat on the bench  minute  of so. and he put his arm around me &kissed me softly on my cheek twice. The  pages 5, 6, 7, 8, were covered with XXXXXXXXXXX to clear the atmosphere. I was glad he did.

    Friday nite at the "Y" was the mother and daughter  Rich Ceremony & Anabel brought Harold F> and I asked Billy but he had already gone to Scout meeting before he called me so he couldn't come. I was complimented several times on the manner with which I presided. There are a lot of other things I could write about but too hard to remember now.

The Next Week- the last week of school - our work was almost doubled & I sure was almost doubled & I sure studied - es- pecially had on my Latin note-boobook- I got a 1 in my final Latin test. I ---- nearly fell over - It certainly tickled me. My grades are as follows, tho we didn't get any cards - first - our diploma.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Typing = 1        Algebra = 2

Phy. Ed = 1        Glee Club    = 1

English = 1        Latin = 2+

a pretty fair average considering everything else - also received my Franklin letter & my captain's letter for Phy Ed - The week before school was out I [wrote]Carl bartlett's [?]. That is the big major letter for Base ball - He is Billing's best friend & lots of fun.

Thursday June 18th - an eventful at school but in the [?]

Oh Gee!! There's much I've forgotten - One thing is the play which our English class play - "The Man Without a Country". I was Business manager & a dancer in the Minuet. Chuck Ed and [Emiron] Reynard (one of their pals) were the stage managers - in charge of the curtains etc - we had oodles of fun during the rehearsal - talking to the stage managers) They and several other boys who are interested in Radio have formed a Radio Club - I was joking them and it finally ended up with an invitation to the next meeting which would be at Eds and so to say - a party  - if we come so it was agreed to have it June 18th.

The 9A Party was the 12th of June & quite a success - I was ch. of the Program Comm, & a main character in a clever little skit. Florence Jones was ch. of the Eats comm & they sure were good. Dot gave the Prophecy just keen, too! She looked so cute up on the stage and we had a big crystal  [?] gazing globe from Buffums which was [?]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well to [?] to the party.

June 18 - Thursday nite

    I was at Dots and we were eating supper when Ed & Chuck called (in Ed's [?] we hurriedly dashed into the bed room & started dressing while Chuck & Ed talked to a friend of Mrs. Hadsells. During supper she had been telling about a lady she had missed & who had died. Among other comments was the fact that she was so heavy it took 4 men to get t her downstairs & they dropped her at that! Jake was very sincere but Dot &  nearly died. Then  off  we went & got Anabell & Florence & eventually landed aa Eds. His folks are awfully nice & jolly too. We had a [peanut] hunt & then Ed auctioned off[green]bundles etc - which held such things as ducks, parrots will, ear rings, dish [?], & scrub brush other games & then eats  -  sandwiches, ice cream, cake && candy. Color scheme Blue & Yellow after the eats we started to teach the boys how to dance.

Chuck & I+ Ed & Dot while Florence & Anabel tried in vain to get [?] & Hugh Hixon (the other boy) to dance. Ed was leaving for Chicago the following Tues and wished that we had had such parties before - the idea then came to me, to have[?] more or less informal dance the following Monday & so I did.

Friday the 19th of June - grad - uation! Nothing on at school complete rehearsal at Municipal Auditorium where exercises were held - only at school my locker was cleaned out & my binders Almanac & everything was completely cleaned out. Gee I was mad!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh  yes - the day before (Thurs) we had a Farewell Assembly & Cameron McKelly, a Sophmore at Poly Hi had come down for [?]. He had his Caulea (His school annual) and I signed it and promised I'd try & rustle up an invitation for the Commencement exercises.

Friday nite the 19 - Graduation - The exercises were at the municipal auditorium on the pier and we graduates met out in front. The girls were all in tailored pastels of linen, flannel or cotton. My dress was orchid English broadcloth and made like this: with a white crepe scarf flowered in yellow, pink, & green - awfully pretty with with white shoes & stockings faintly lavender - a lavender ribbon in my hair too.

    There are 4 aisles in the auditorium & as Franklin had the most graduates we lad in. single   file -  up each aisles. Two boys and two girls - Dorotha Hadwell, Miriam Fulton, Norma Cantley & Erwin McMonigle. The tallest folks in school- A we were seated  that ( over 500 graduates from all four junior highs) the Franklin color guard of Boy Scouts, marched in with the flags. After the flag salute we the  audience sang the Star Spangled Banner. We then sat down and the invocation (a long one) was given after the continued orchestras had played. After the invocation the girl's glee Club (of which I was a part) sang 3 songs...Morning Mood May Morning & Down the Lane. The class address was then given by a Mr. [ ] he was certainly good

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

although I didn't hear it all. I was seated among the other shorties and between Etty Ogier and Freddy Dexter, who certainly kept me laughing or rather trying not to laugh! Among the [?] (both true &[?])(speaker) he said Doesn't judge a boy by the size of his shoes (Many glanses at masculine feet) or a girl by the rouge on her face - Then  the Boys glee Club sang - asleep in the Deep, The Soldier's Chorus & then a variation on some southern melody or something like that. Then we marched up for our diplomas - Then were mixed of course & I got some boys - I didn't ever know him & Fred Rymal-

Cameron was there and brought me a box of Lady Katharine chocolates - Keen ones two.

    Looking back I found I skipped my birthday so I'll write that now. Dot & I were going to Anabel's to make candy but when we got there, the whole gang was ther & of course it was a surprise for me - The presents I received were:

Dot - This dailing diary

Gladys - Scaramouche a book

    Dear old neglected Diary - I've treated you shamefully, haven't I?  But its hard to write after you get behind so far. I've been swimming a lot and I'm so brown mother dear is ashamed of me. There's lot of - things that have happened & I've forgotten most of  'em. Anabel, Dot & I have been in swimming with

h

Chuck & Freddy a couple of times & last Sunday.  I [?] alone) was in with Chuck, Freddy John Roach, Eldon Shoemaker, & my own Buddies & Bathing slips to wear over your suit are quite in style, new, and the other morning Dot & I made us some. My [slip] [?] with trimming of small black & white checked gingham & Dots is blue gingham with the edging of blue  & white checks. In the afternoon we went in swimming with Billy and his chum Harold Schmidt who is a blonde & quite jolly & nice. Harold was leaving the next morning to motor up the coast to Vancouver and then to Kansas City to live. We had a keen time. The next morning Bill called me to say he was going too. Oh Gee! I nearly died! He left in the afternoon & I didn't get to see him but talked to him (via telephone) several times.

    Well Diary Dear - I'll never catch up if I go into detail so I'll say - they have written twice & I've answered. Also have met a new boy. Eldon Schuaker (Tony). He lives about 2 blocks from here & is a Franklin chap. He's a wonderful swimmer & is keen in the ocean.

Has remarkable poise and can very nice things easily. (A thing most of the boys can't do). Anabel & Dot like him quite well but of the[?] so far  hes paid the most attention to me. We've been learning to play Tennis (Dot, Anabel, Florence & I) and I have a new racket: I love it. Miss Henderson, the high school G.R. secretary played with us today and complimented me several times on my serve. Gee I hope I get to be a good player. We girls have been  going to the Elizabethe Club (G.R.) and last time we had a tea. Dot and I were the hostesses and it was lots of fun. We thought we would have one for Florence as she was leaving the  20th of August for Sumatra but then they got a letter from her Daddy & now they can't.

This 1880 census of the George W. Shaffer family was found 2 February 2024. it is page of 25. What is special about this census is that the family is shown living in Iowa. I had found a GeorgeW. Shaffer in the veteran's Census of 1890. We are very lucky that George was found on the few pages that were left after after the fire and water damage  that occured in the early 1900's at the National Archives.
