Memories of My Dad by Leon Bushnell- A Son


I remember by father, Leland M. Bushnell for the hard working man tha t h e was.
My first real recollection was in 1942. We were west of Grampa Bushnell ' s house, cutting hay. I was on the mower at the time. It as drawn b y a te am of horses. I was seven years of age. I couldn't reach the foo t rests . Dad put a board on the back of the rests to put my feet on. Gra mpa Bush nell came down in the field and told dad that I would be kille d if I drov e the mower, but dad said the war is on and there is no help . From that d ay until 1946 when we got our first tractor, I drove the mo wer.
Dad was a fair person, always kept his word. I remember him getting u p a t four o'clock in the morning to milk cows so he could be at a design ate d place at a designated time. He said being on time is a virtue .
It was not until I was sixteen years old, that I remember going any pla c e other than work, with my dad. That was the Deer Hunt. That was our va ca tion, two or three days out of the year.
He provided a good home for us, and taught us to be honest and fair i n o ur dealings. That I will always be thankful for.
A son. Leon Bushnell.
A son.
