In this wide-ranging interview that is full of detailed and colorful stories, Evonne Damiana describes a life that included traveling from California to Colorado alone by bus at the age of six, living on a farm for part of her childhood, working as a telephone operator after World War II, and raising a family in Louisville. She tells about what was involved in raising 300 chickens a year on a farm; food grown, eaten and preserved on the farm; other aspects of farm life in the 1930s; men who traveled on freight trains during the Depression; coal mining in Boulder Country, where two uncles and her father-in-law worked as miners; and her husband's job as one of the first employees of the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder.
