There- there must've been but as I said to dad one day, I said, "Well I'm not going to push it. There's no use if you just don't want to talk about it," like you-know- and then Uncle-Ray, the lad that's sitting on grandma's knee.

Interviewer: Having too much fun? What were you doing? Speaker: Young lads- Interviewer: Yeah? Speaker: Fighting and whipping- Interviewer: Fighting?

And ah, Harold-Sailor, the lad in the garage there, he was a great fellow who worked hard, he was a fine man

And ah, I- it was for a while there, for a couple of years I hunted in there myself. Because we hunted together, gangs of us and-that. So then it got too big a gang for them so they come in now and they hunt with me. They stay with me, the three or four lads. But we hunt in there at my camp.

And ah, this tobacco was there too. So she's giving us the strap and a talking-to, and the whole business. And George and Lyle- they were young lads, you-know?

And Dad was away this day, I don't know- Dad and Mother both away so. I looks out and- I was up at the house. And here's these two young lads, Lyle and George.

And good stuff too, pretty good, there was always a brew going on there. And ah, I used to help him when I was a young lad. And Terry, great guy.

And he was a great lad to invent things. He took me in, showed me some of the mistakes I was doing.

And put them out and the old lad that owned it was there with a car. And he herded them cows there with the car, away from these other ones 'til I got the twelve of them out. And then we took them and we round them into town and went to the butcher shop.

And then Johnny- there's- there was four bachelors lived right near us you-see. There was two Calendar lads up there, and Chester-Boyce, and Cardigans and Terry. Right there in a bunch.

But a lot of young lads get- you-know I-guess they're used to doing that at home. (laughs) Wouldn't do this, wouldn't do that.

Cause the lad I was working for told me, he said "If you go up the top of them, there's a little cactus berry up there." And he says "I like to eat them," he says, "I bet you would too."

Great lad to travel around, walk here and there on Sundays and what not so I get out and get onto these things and pick the berries. But I was in Alberta and up there, there was right down the badlands you-know.

How come his father didn't show him these things? You-know, young lad, he was willing to learn.

I had- no, I had lads work when they still- there's a- I had some really fine fellows. You-know Carleton-Auto, eh? C-- ah, Chris-Evans, the lad that run it- own it, he started out working with me.

I was a young lad, our bush- our- like for our old house wasn't- then our- i-- it was about- cross maybe twenty acres to go back to the camp there. And I was a young lad, and I'd taken a lunch back I-think to Dad. I wasn't very big then.

Just about, twenty years. And ah, there was a bunch of young lads come in there from high-school one time with their teacher. And they come in and they want to use the washroom, which is fine, good.

Oh well I- some of them went- I still ke-- I had a g-- four of five lads out there an I tell you what, they done the work of fifteen people. And they all liked doing it too you-know.

Oh yeah, Lester was a good young lad.

See years ago, when I was a young lad, there wasn't the coyot-- there was no coyotes. Once in a while in the wintertime these ah, timberwolves and-that would come across from Quebec
