What did do as a kid to earn money ?
I also was a country kid veneta Oregon, I did all the usual stuff chores help property owners with their chores but a couple of the more interesting things is I ran a trap line when I was about 13 and peeled chittom bark off trees and sold it to the hardware store by the pound,.chittom bark is from the cascara tree they dry it and they used to use it to make laxative. Then in the Summers I would go back to Nebraska and live with my uncle and drive tractor on the farms back there they never had enough help.
