JEAN HAYWARD WESSMAN (SHIRTS): Ernie Wessman's Memories




Jean had a lot of boys in the neighborhood that  were ga ga over her.  She would try to get rid of all her siblings so she could spend time in the living room alone with these boys.  She had
several boyfriends.  She was the big sister so when she ordered out the younger siblings, they complied even though it was quite challenging at times.  She was very proud when she was able to find her first job.  She did clerical work.  That was an accomplishment especially during the depression.  Ernie remember Jean play Joe Shirts again Joe Holland (violinist who used to play with Dick, John and a couple of other guys) and  Jim Nerdon.

Ernie and his family traveled with Jean and her family from Salt Lake City to Wayne Wonderland to Price to Zions, then Grand Canyon then St. George.  They were both in 49 Model A Fords.  Joe couldn't go 15 miles without boiling over.

Jean and Joe would get together with Paul and Lorraine to play cards and just talk.  It was enjoyable for these couples to get together.
