| Notes |
- In December of 1940 my parents were expecting their first baby. They liv e d in a small building that was home to them in Lakeside, Arizona. I t i s a common impression of people that Arizona is a warm state; however , th e elevation of Lakeside is about 8,000 feet with pine trees and get s real ly cold in the winter The week that I was born it was very cold an d it ha d snowed each day.
Because of the weather, my grandmother Hansen lined the walls of the cab i n with blankets to keep the wind out. During the afternoon of Decembe r 9t h the snow started again and soon it became a blizzard. My mother st arte d into labor that afternoon, The family sent for a doctor to come an d hel p with the birth. I was born at nine the following morning, the fir st o f Ross Wells Hansen and Hazel Ferrell's children .
Shortly after I was born my Dad began to direct a play. According to m y m other I really did love to go places away from home.

My parents waited b re athlessly in fear that my Dad would be called to serve in the war. Sev era l times he was called but each time he had a legal reason for stayin g hom e.
Throughout the following years I suffered a broken arm, turkey fights a n d many some incidents. I remember being taken to the hospital and give n s hots for various diseases. One day very early in my life it was disco vere d that I had an undescended testicle which had caused a hernia. I wa s giv en numerous shots which failed to do any good. Later when I was fiv e we h ad moved to a ranch just outside of Lakeside. This is where my lif e reall y began. My uncle Gus had a little paint mare, black and white, w hich h e called Paint. He told me jokingly that if I would break her to r ide tha t I could have her. Well with his and my dad's help I finally mad e it . I got the horse and between the two of us we had some rather excit ing t ime. One day I dressed like an Indian and took a cocoa bath. I wen t t o a parade and won a prize because with my get up and my painthors e I rea lly looked like an Indian. At another parade I dressed up lik e a gold min or and dressed my horse in the same manner. I tied a fring p an and a spoo n on together. When the spoon bounced
