The World and Government:
An Interview with Betty Hartzell

by Tommy

Tommy: How has the world changed since you were young?

Mrs. H.: Oh boy! I don't think there were as many crimes and big business going on then as there is now. I wasn't afraid to walk anywhere like I am now. I keep the doors locked.

Tommy: What were your dreams when you were a child?

Mrs. H.: I just wanted to be a good wife and mother.

What Tommy learned from Mrs. H.:
I learned what here dreams was just to be a good wife and mother. And she wasn't afraid to walk anywhere like I am now. And she keeps the doors locked at all times. She is about 78 years old. She used to work at Rudolph's and she was a clerk for about ten years. She has 3 children, 6 grand children, and 2 great grandchildren. I learned that my great-grandmother's dreams were to be a good wife and mother and today those dreams for a lot of girls are different.
