Ruth Green and Mike Powell
Collins Powell (Mike's dad) tells of his mother taking care of Ruthie while
Evelyn (Ruth's mom) had things to do. The Greens lived right across from
the Powells, so it was a natural. Any way, once when Collins came home on
leave, Ruthie was in the middle of the living room floor with clothes pins all
around her, and an empty bucket near by. She would pick up the clothes
pins, putting them into the bucket. When they were all picked up, she
would ask someone to scatter them again. I remember my mom doing that for
kids, but had forgotten about it. We made do without T.V. in those days
just fine.
