<DIV>While working as an insurance adjuster, we had a fellow on the property
damage</DIV>
<DIV>desk who, as I, was from Oregon. He and a friend made their lab money by
collecting</DIV>
<DIV>rattlers when it was cold. One particular deary day, after a good
catch, they stopped</DIV>
<DIV>for a brew at a local beer hall. When they came out, his 1936 Ford
sedan was gone.</DIV>
<DIV>So, he called the Oregon State Police, and they had his car. It had
been found on</DIV>
<DIV>a snowy highway, engine runing and both front doors wide open. It
seemed the</DIV>
<DIV>thief had turned on the heater, and the little fellers in the gunny sack on
the back</DIV>
<DIV>seat got restless.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>1953 I tied 2 gunny sacks across the fender on the back
of my bike, went<BR>from Medford to Central point and about collecting
bottles, they paid for<BR>new shoes and another better bike. $ 10 was a lot of
bottles at 1 cent each.<BR> Did the same later when we lived in
Ririe Idaho. I bought some engineer<BR>boots I think the deposit was 2 cents
by then. My dad worked on a Mormon<BR>farm, then we moved to Brooks Wyo as
farm worker, and on to Yellowstone park<BR>where he got a job with the YP
Co.<BR> Genealogy and what they did were things I am trying
to learn now so I<BR>can try to find out what my people did .<BR><BR>Dan
