FW: But you must have some sort of pleasant memories from your school days, don't you?
CW: Well, the most pleasant ones that I had, long about September. My daddy would have a note read, uh, wrote, and I'd take it to the schoolteacher, and-- We'd have a recess in the evening also, so he'd ask her to let me out at recess, and we'd go down- get in the boat and go down here near the inlet. And when night would come, he'd put me out on the beach, and he'd set his net out. We did that four or five times, but we got home we had a half of a skiff load of fish. When I'm talking about a skiff load, I'm talking about a small skiff, five, six hundred pounds, a cent and a half a pound. But he had from five to seven, eight, ten dollars to buy groceries with. You could put a lot of groceries in for that.
FW: Right.
CW: But I enjoyed that the most in the world. I enjoyed that.
