John Laurits Watkins August 2001
At first look this book may seem to be simply a collection of character sketches, no more. Look again. The real story here is about immigrants who left the old country and came to America in search of a better life. The women started as household servants, the men as laborers. They left a country where men and women seldom rose above their class. They came to a country where they could expect to rise if they were willing to work hard. They did work hard, the generation of Laurits Larsen, Marie Vibbert, Edwin Watkins, and Jane McBeath, and they did rise – a little. They sent their children to school and encouraged them to work hard and to lead moral, Christian lives. Their children rose another step. They became landowners, middle management executives, and community leaders. My generation has benefited immensely from the efforts of those honest hard working people. They loved their families in the best way possible. They taught them by example and by precept to work hard and play fair. I knew all but Laurits. I guess I showed them my love and respect, but never put it into words that they could hear. I never really said out loud: “Thanks!” I wish I had.
