TRANSCRIPTION OF UNSCRIPTED SPEECH

I was born in Kansas City, Missouri.  My folks, when I was about 6 months old, moved to Wamsutter, Wyoming.   I lived there until I went away to high school for a short period of time.  Then came back home, lived a little while, came to the University of Wyoming, graduated in the college of Eng…Engli...er…Education, I’m sorry, in 1957.  I traveled with my husband, who was in the service, to Texas, California, Washington.  We came back, made our home in Laramie, Wyoming.  I owned a business here, and now I’m in Sales and I’ve been here, I’m 72 years old, so I think probably I know the language pretty well.
