He made ice cream, and people would stop by when they knew he was making ice cream. He’d give them pieces of waxed paper, and they would eat it off of that. It was good.
Dena: My father – we lived in Star Valley, Wyoming, where my Dad started the first dairy there. He used to get his milk and cream from the experiment farm. He started making ice cream. It was fun, the way he made the ice cream. It was made in a round ice cream freezer type. It was one that kind of laid on its side, ‘cause it was made to watch. When it got to where it was thick, you could open the door on the front a little bit, and it would come out. Oh! It was good. It was all soft ice cream. I used to love that. And then he’d have little papers from wrapping butter and you put that underneath and it would just drop right on there, and you could eat it right off of that, all over. He made ice cream, and people would stop by when they knew he was making ice cream. He’d give them pieces of waxed paper, and they would eat it off of that. It was good. It was the first soft ice cream I ever ate, and it was wonderful!
