... they all ah- they grew up good too. They- they were ta-- all of them were pretty well sports, music, ah- ... Went to- all went to school, got good jobs and succeeded and did good.

I-mean, we had electronic stuff there that dated back to, I-mean, old crank- have you ever see old crank ... Phones- with the big horn and-that. We had those things in the back shelves. Now, we had- we had a little museum in our basement, pretty well, with all the old r-- r-- ret- tube-style cutters that-- records that used to come on a tube, would cut on a circle and that's how you played your records.

Speaker I'm not proud of it. ... let's just say I left in bad terms with the teacher. Interviewer: Or you just bumped heads with the teacher. Speaker: Yeah. Kind of like, yeah. Pretty-well, that was it.

To do shopping or even, I can remember as a- as a young person, we very seldom ah went into the town. On the farm pretty well all the time so- ...

Interviewer: Now were they like ah Damian's parents? Did they come into Toronto and then up or were they- Speaker: Pretty well, I-think. Um, let's see. My h-- my sister has this better than I have. I just have scribbled notes.

It's alright for us 'cause you-know, we're settled. We have what we want pretty well here.

Interviewer: Were these plays written by the students or did they present themselves? Speaker: They would be plays that ah, were made up. ... And then, teacher would pretty well choose those.

They were better in school than I was, so actually my youngest sister I was pretty well out of school by the time she- she started. She may have been just in grade one or two I suppose.

And that's where- actually Mothers- ah, my mother-in-law is there, Ester's mother's in The-Manor and that's a l-- local ah, hm, well how would I- how would I describe- it's- it's people that can pretty well take care of themselves like when they can't- can't look after themselves, they have to go to a nursing home, so this is step between giving up their homes and their meals are provided and type-of-thing, laundry's provided-

But the rest of time we'd g-- going down to Michigan, Texas is close to South-Powdri-Island and that's- that's in the g-- Gulf-of-Mexico. It's pretty well as far south in Texas you can go.

And I feel at home here. And I feel safe here 'cause tis is Kirkland-Lake, I know everybody pretty well.

The- oh yeah the other good thing about here is even though some of the land is private around us, you-know, some of the bush are claims- ... But you can pretty well go wherever you like. You-know, you can take a walk right now back- and- i-- if you live in Kirkland-Lake, you can head back through the bush- ... (inc) by Goldthorp or wherever behind McCassa and nobody will bother you.

Bus all the time. Yeah and he did everything over there pretty well. If anything, he mixed it- mixed the stuff and (inc) sent Danny to ah the States some place on a fir-- course on this- and doing these kind of things.

Interviewer: Wow. So you grew up fishing, pretty much your whole life? Speaker: Ah, pretty well. Yeah, yeah because when we used to go to- we used to go to Latchford, too. A-- with th-- this couple that lived in Cobalt, and we used to go fishing.

Interviewer: Do you know if that's a northern thing? Did every- did every family do that? Speaker: I th-- pretty well, yes.

... that line goes right from Timmins I-guess right through to Val D'or, where all the gold's located. I-guess everything's pretty well in a line, so- not- not understanding that we had a geologist come in ah, I-think it was at Central-School or maybe it was Federal-School and our kids who explained that to us.

Interviewer: And is this like summers or all year? Speaker: This- this is pretty well all the time. Wintertime um I guess we do a little bit of ah- friend of mine always had a- always had a whole bunch of skidoos and that type-of-thing so we'd play on ah- we did a lot of that.

The ah- we were in the grocery-store the other day and one of my native pupils from Matachewan here- by the way Matachewan-School was about- pretty well half native or- or maybe anyway. So it's pretty much the same as the other place.

Winter-time it's pretty well- she's the coach, I'm the fan so I just follow wherever the team is going.

But one of the things I thought was extremely funny. I- one- one- one time there after midnight quite a while and Erin is pretty well into the culture and the kids were all f-- playing around, and the white kids going- get going and- and ah what you say ah (inc) and-the-rest.
