After that I went to a boarding school in Milwaukee, called Milwaukee Seminary.

How large was Watertown at that time?

About 10,000.

And how far from Milwaukee? Did you have a chance to get into the city?

About 45 miles. Yes, I often went to shop with my mother in Milwaukee.

That must have been something to look forward to.

Oh, yes, it was a joy. And when I went to boarding school there I enjoyed myself very much because I loved to go to hear the concerts and I loved to go to the theater. The school itself --I think it impressed me tremendously--but it was very confining; it was very strict and quite rigid.

Was it a denominational school?

No, no, but it seemed to me that we studied a great deal. We got up at 6:30 in the morning and we were doing something every minute until 10 at night, and that was it. And this went on for four years.
