Betty Anderson, Tribe of Othelia, Memories, from 2000
I have so many happy memories of the Otto’s offspring. I came into the tribe of Othelia in 1946, so I remember when some of the first cousins were born I helped take care of some of them, when they would come to Vic and Teela’s on the farm. I remember especially not to let Rick (tribe of Delroy) cry too hard, because he would get the hiccups. When Carol (tribe of Parn) was born, Don gave out Peter Paul Almond Joy[s]” candy bars. Valerie (tribe of Maurice) and Jim (tribe of Othelia) were flower girl and ring bearer at our wedding. Now the three cousins have turned 50. Where have the years gone?
