Pearl Anderson
"Just keep on going, work and stay interested, live for the day and don't worry about tomorrow. I'm Catholic, I say my prayers each day and if I don't get what I pray for, I usually get something better."

"Winter after winter Walt's silver truck with its half-ton plow would push snow. That plow wore out its odometer clearing many driveways and parking lots. Because the alternative was a snow shovel, everyone was glad to see Walt coming."
A neighbor, on Walt Anderson
"Yea, daylight to dark. Lots of time I was clear up to the fog by early morning. And I rode over that hill in 45 minutes, from the ranch house to the doctor's house."
Frank Anderson, on a day's work at the Evans Ranch
