Family and background We had a big family. There were 12 of us. I was 8th and I always said my mother didn't know she had me. But we were a very close family; we kids, particularly, the 1/2 dozen younger ones. My mother used to crochet a lot. I would take apart complicated pictures and crochet them. I had no patterns. The 1st thing I remember about me was that I was going to be an artist; before I went to school. I used to draw in school. We didnt have, fortunately, any formal drawing in school. You'd probably have to unlearn a lot in those days. I went to a one-room school house. We had these desks with the books down
