NOTES
1). ..Joseph Earl PRICE PRR00003.TXT ..edited March 7, 1996 Joseph Earl PRICE was born in Denver, CO and lived there briefly before traveling with his parents in the mountains of Colorado while his father helped put up telephone lines, sometimes movingevery three weeks. Joseph Elias got a transfer to Colorado Springs about 1935 so that Joseph Earl could attend school. Joseph Earl attended Steele Elementary School for grades K 6, then attended North Junior High School where he was a Viking, and then attending Colorado Springs High School where he was a Terror. While in grade school, his friends were mostly the neighborhood children mostly younger, Marilyn Hines that live two doors to the south, and the children across the street. During the summer a number of games of croquet were played by neighborhood kids at their house or at Joseph s house. At school, Guy Beals was a good friend from grade 1 to 12. In junior high the main friends were Richard Williams and Robert McClain. During high school JohnHoneyman and Robert Fischer were added to the list. In high school, a lot of social life revolved around the class on stagecraft that he took in the junior and senior years. Joseph liked the chess club during 10th grade. He also enjoyed the math classes, chemistry, physics, mechanical drawing and the practical electricity classes. He became a member of the Honor Society in his junior year. One Christmas,about 1939, he received a big pedal type tractor that he, and other kids in the neighborhood, liketo drive around the block. He also liked to roller skate and drive his red wagon around the block. After receiving a bicycle for his birthday at the beginning of 6th grade, he rode it to school nearly every day clear through high school. On some snowydays the tracks of the bus could be used for the bicycle. During WWII, Joseph Elias rode the bike to work during the summer. He was a Cub Scout in 4th, 5th & 6th grades going thru the ranks of Wolf, Bear and Lion. The mother of Guy Beals was the Den mother for the first two years, then Gladys Price became Den Mother for the last year. Byron Akers, who also went thru school with Joseph was one of the Cub Scouts. He became the lawyer for Gladys and Joseph Elias Price. He was so impressed with Gladys that he attended her funeral. Joseph Elias built a table about 4x8 ft that was used for the Cub Scout meetings. After it was no longer needed for the Cubs the O gauge Marx train tracks were mounted on it. Later it was just used as a table and stuff was still piled on it when Joseph Elias and Gladys died. During sixth grade Joseph Earl was a student patrolman that let miss most of the math class to help students in K 3rd grades come thru the Nevada Street underpass. Students in 4 6 grades came earlier that the younger ones. A patrolman got to wear a white Sam Brownie type belt and a little hat to mark them. Most of the duty at the underpass was to keep order and help students to get their bicycles down and back up the steps. Guy Beals was a lieutenant for the patrol. It was about this time that Joseph realized that his athletic and music skill were very minimal and he decided to concentrate on academics since they came easily. Starting in third grade the students at Steele School went to one room for math, another for physical education the gym was in the basement , science, English, etc. There was a black line painted on the gym floor about three feet from the walls. The boys lined up on one side and the girls on the opposite side. The tallestat one end and the shortest at the other end. Joseph Earl was in the middle height wise. In college, friends were found in the Independent Men s Society, such as Don Theobald, and in the math and physics classes, such as Gery Biamont. Also Jerry Dummer and Potter Squires who he had known though grade school, junior high and senior high school. In graduate school at The Rice Institute James C. Thompson, Lyndon Tailor, George Dalrymple his room mate during the 2nd year , Phil Sticksel and Robert McCloud a math graduate student that was his room mate for about 2 years in the Faculty Tower became his friends. Also, Joseph attended the First Methodist Church and went to evening college age group meetings. The First Church was much further away than St. Paul s Methodist, but had a better youth group. After moving to Beaumont to teach at Lamar Tech, he attended the Koffee Klub at the First Methodist Church downtown since the nearer Methodist Church did not have a college aged youth group. There he met Ben Whitaker and Paul Long. Ben was a dentist with an office near where Joseph lived and Ben also took ace of Joseph s teeth. Robert Budwine, a young math instructor at Lamar, was a good friend. During the first couple of years in Pocatello, Charles& Liz Coombs were good friends with whom Joseph bowled. The first year in Pocatello Joseph lived in a basement apartment on Taft Street. During this year he arranged to have the house at 26 Davis Drive built. He lived by himself for one year, then hisbrother James lived with him for a year. At the end of that year Joseph married Nola Ann Iverson and they lived there for a number of years while raising their children Rodney Jay and Andrea Jo. For several years the family raised bantam chickens in Colorado Springs. The first ones were obtained from uncle Chet Garson who lived on the outskirts of Denver. A pen was built on the north side of the garage and a small door let them go to an inside enclosure. They furnished eggs for some time. After Chet took back the chickens, a patio was built on the chicken pen site. For a few years rabbits were also kept. The rabbit hutch was built on the back of the playhouse. Not many of these chickens or rabbits were used for Sunday dinner since Gladys became tooattached to them. On one of brother Jim s early birthdays Joseph Elias brought home a chow pup which named King. Joseph had been working at a ladies house that morning and she had two nearly pure red chow pups that she wanted to get rid of, so he took one. The adult neighbors were afraid of King, but he would just watch the small neighbors come into the yard with out getting up. One Easter when Jim was very young our parents brought home a baby duck. A few days later they got another one since they thought the first one was lonely. By pure luck, one turned out to be a male named Chubby and the other a female named Stubby. After the ducks grew up they lived in the playhouse and Stubby laid a number of eggs but would not sit on them long enough for them to hatch, so the eggs were used in cooking. The ducks also had the run of the yard during the day and got along with King. The ducks lived for about eight years till they died a natural death. A wading pool had been built to the east of the clothesline which the ducks enjoyed. The play house that was on the property of 1917 N. Royer St. when the Prices moved in was used by Joseph and Jim for a number of things, like being an airplane, boat, etc. The area near the play house was left unplanted while Joseph and Jim were small for a place to dig in, play cars, etc. A swing was put in that area just to the east of the of the clothes line post. About 1940 an umbrella tent was purchased that was put up during the summer near the swing, about where a wading pool was later installed. Joseph slept in it quite a bit in the summers. After it wore out, a wall tent was obtained and it was put up under the big Russian olive tree by the alley and ashpit. Both Joseph and Jim slept in it quite a bit in the summer. A swing about four feet wide was hung from the ceiling of the front porch along the north edge most summers. Joseph read a number of books while lying it. When Rodney was small we got a small black dog of mixed parentage which we names Midge sinceshe was the midget of the puppies. We got her from some people that had an ad in the paper that said free puppies. She caught a few mice in the window wells. When she was young she was able to run around the yard balancing a green ball on the tip of her nose. The ball was about the size of a basketball. It broke and she never seemed interested in balancing the replacement on her nose. She was trained to stay on the floor and not get up on any of the furniture. At night she was put in the basementto sleep. When she was young we had a big box in which a desk had been shipped that we put her in at night. When Rod was living in an apartment in Moscow while attending the U of I, he and a cat adopted each other. She was names Toast and the vet described her as a tabby. After Rod and Marnie were married they took her till they moved into an apartment where pets were not allowed. Then Joseph and Nola got her. She slept down stairs due Joseph s allergies and only got in the upstairs by mistake. Toast caught a number of mice in the field out back. Also a few voles and some birds. My parents bought a 1936 blue Ford brand new. I believe that it was done in a rush to attend the funeral of Grandmother Elvie Hagar. I think that they had a model A or T before that. One summer Joseph Elias took the motor out and sent it to a machine shop to have the cylinders rebored and valve seats ground. There were parts all over the garage for a couple of weeks, but they all got put back and it ran. Somewhere alonghere thy Ford got painted green. I worked at White Sands Proving Grounds during the summers of 1951, between my junior & senior year at CC, and 1952, the summer after I graduated from CC. When I came home at the end of the summer of 1951 I was surprisedto find the Ford sharing the garage with a Buick. I got the Ford. Drove it to White Sands and to Houston where I used it for three years. At the beginning of my fourth year in Houston I bought a green Plymouth from Jim Thompson. Drove the Ford back to Colorado Springs where Joseph Elias used it as a work car, especially to go to work at the golf courses where he maintained the electric golf carts. Shortly after moving to Beaumont, I bought a new green & white Oldsmobile. About a year after gettingmarried we bought a blue Ford station wagon and used it to sleep in when going camping. After Rodney came along we bought a blue and white Chevy van in 1967. Took the third seat out and could set up the play pen in back. It was great for bringing things home from the lumber yard while finishing the basement, but it did not get around very well in the snow. In 1967 we bought a used GMC pickup with a camper on it. Made a number of trips in it. Sold the camper in 1976 and bought a used Scout which got around well in the snow. Then we bought an Apache camping trailer from brother Jim. Used it for several expeditions. Later it was parked on the lot near Lava Hot Springs during the summer and in the garden plot at the south side of the house during thewinter. When it got to where we did not use the trailer very much we sold it and bought a tent. Camped on the lot a few times using the tent, then sold the lot and gave Rodney the tent. Sold the Scout and got an 87 maroon Buick, then sold it and got a 94white Oldsmobile. As second cars we had two VWs, a blue 86 Toyota wagon which Andrea is now driving, and a blue 92 Corolla wagon. The wagons are 4x4s. In 1974 we bought a blue 4 door Datsun which we drove till it wore out in 1985 which was replaced byChevy Citation which Rod took to Moscow in 1987. Andrea also drove it to high school and to college in Logan. Right after we bought it Andrea was on her way to pick up a friend to take to high school when the left front wheel collapsed at the corner of19th and Clark. The dealer had replaced a leaking boot and the mechanic had installed the wrong kind of bolt. Nola and Joe celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by going to Hawaii for a few days. When they got home a big sign on the garage welcomedthem. Rodney and Joseph went on several backpacking trips. The first was with a YMCA group that went north of Malad, ID. They went three times in three different years with Jeff and Lloyd Lycan to Idaho wilderness areas, and once with Barry and David Parker on the west side of Teton Park. I was told that my prominent adam s apple is characteristic of the Rubeck family. They are also tall thin people. Grandfather Hagar was a thin wiry man. Joseph spent the Christmas vacation and the week following it athome with the mumps. His father came down with the mumps halfway through Joseph Earl s two weeks. had to go to the city health department and get a permit before being allowed to return to school.
