Introduction

Gladys was a happy, friendly person. When she and "Bus" lived in Dunlap, IA she was an avid movie fan and kept her movie tickets in a scrapbook, dated, who she went to the movie with and sometimes comments about the movie. She also kept scrapbooks of newspaper and magazine clippings. She was a collector of "statues" of horses which she had all displayed. She loved her little pug dog, Tiny. When they moved to the farm west of Soldier, IA, she had very large goldfish in the horse tank, raised flowers and a garden. She enjoyed Soldier Lutheran Church where she was baptised and confirmed. She looked after her mother who lived to an old age. Later in life she enjoyed going to bingo nights at churches and other sites. After the war was over so people could buy gas for their cars without rationing, she and husband Bus, really got into fishing in western Monona Co. and got my dad, brother and I involved in fishing. She and my mother, her first cousin, packed picnic lunches and so we had great family outings. Bus and Gladys had no children.
