One time while he was bailing hay for R. L. Davis, he came home for dinner and there was a terrible smell. Gertrude asked him what itwas. He had killed a rattlesnake and put it in his back pocket. He had sat on it all day and it was a very hot day!

In 1939, Leroy worked for Bob Davis, spraying apples. He and Gertrude got a seed loan for an apple orchard. They rented Nellie's place. They sprayed, but the neighbors didn't; the county pulled out all the trees. The next year the apple price went up, but they no longer had an orchard. They couldn't pay for the seed and buy Nellie's house ($10 a month).

In 1940 they moved to Entiat and went to work for Mr. Gallagher in his orchard. They stayed there almost a year. They were in Nellie Kramer's house in Palisades, when Linda was born. In 1942, they moved to Soap Lake. They lived in Mrs. Smith's Motor Court. Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen lived there, too. The men worked building Larson Air Force Base.

In 1944, they moved back to Palisades. They moved into Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen's house, as they had moved back to Seattle. Leroy worked for Bob Davis in the orchard, potatoes and in the alfalfa.
He also drove the school bus into Wenatchee, working at the North Central Chevrolet as a mechanic until time to drive the students back to Palisades. In 1949, the family moved to East Wenatchee, and he worked full-time as a mechanic.

In 1955, Leroy and Howard VanDyke leased a gas station, Midway Texaco. In 1972 they sold out and Leroy went to work for Far West Services (son-in-law, Don Telford's company). He and Gertrude retired in 1978- he in April, she in November. In 1978 and 1979 they spent winters in Arizona and summers in Alaska. In 1980, they moved to Plain, Wa. staying there until 1992 when they moved back to their home in East Wenatchee.

His father had sisters who were nuns. Leroy didn't like nuns; said they were mean. A priest came to Mae Hiawatha at either Christmastime or Easter and baptized all the kids Catholic

Dad was 84 years, 8 months, and 3 days old when he died.
