Additional Stories told from the perspective of Frank Miller
“While my first school year was at Roosevelt on Doty Island, the older children in the family spent summers, on the Reservation, and then packed up to Door County to pick cherries. Our payment was in pennies per pound.”
“When I was about 12, me, a younger brother, and sister were sent to the hospital at Tomah Indian Agency to preemptively remove the youngers' tonsils. I was their guardian. Violet, my six-year-old sister, and nine year old brother Bill cried, and were frightened. We played jacks and stayed close, hoping to go home soon again.”
“[Referring to his time on the USS Petrof Bay] On ship when they handed out beer and cigarettes, I was too young to drink so traded mine for pop, and I thought that was a great deal.”.
