1961 or 1962 at the PI (back) Karen, Maysel Sanderson (Grandma), Dick Richards(Grandpa) (front) Gayle, Jean Ann Richards Griggs (Momma), Ruth and family friend Herb Chandler
Momma drove us to Portland from our home in Gold Hill, Or. to "help" Grandma and Grandpa at the PI.
We stayed in their duplex on 82nd and Alberta. We girls slept in cots Grandma had fixed up in the basement. Grandma bought us each a food ticket and when we got to the PI each day we were "turned loose" to help out. One thing we did was lead groups of school children through the exhibits. I'm not sure that we knew exactly what we were doing - but, it was a fun week.
It was fun in the evening to sit in Grandpas Manager box and watch the rodeo.
I do remember having to "stay out of the way" every morning while Grandpa got ready to go to the PI. It was a 1 bathroom duplex. Grandma would run him a tub of hot water with lots of Ivory Snow suds!!
