They describe living in a tent-house built by their father and walking several miles to a one-room schoolhouse each day. They also discuss the establishment of the mine, the lack of facilities in the mining camp and the growth of Blue Diamond Village. They share many anecdotes about local residents and activities in the Village, including the growth of various churches and the construction of a community pool.
