    • Personal Records, Maureen (Molly) McGUIRE COLSON:

      AKA Ramona CROUCH. Seldom used first name, even on many official documents.
      BORN at home of grandparents: Hugh Bell HENDRICKS & Nancy Jane Gilkison.
      **********
      Mamma worked from the time she was very young, being hired out to a truck garden on North Seventh Street in Grants Pass, at less than 10 years of age. After her sisters were born she was kept pretty busy taking care of them. She rode her horse to the old Fruitdale School on Hamilton Lane in Grants Pass, OR. She skipped 5th grade because she was the only 5th grader, and ever after had difficulty with math.
      At 16, she graduated from Grants Pass High School, Class of 1926. Then she worked at the title company in Grants Pass until she earned enough money to go to the big city of Los Angeles with her friend, Pat (later Crowley). She met my father there. He was a constuction worker and a rigger and they moved around the west: Riverside, CA, Project City, NV while he worked on Hoover Dam, Polson, MT, Redding, CA where he worked on Shast Dam, Berkley, CA so he could work in the shipyards during World War II. mamma found secretaarial postitions along the way and was very skilled. In high school she had won the state shorthand award. Mamma, like her Grandma, loved adventures and was always ready to go somewhere. In later years, after about with pneumonia in Cabo San Lucas, MEXICO, she ranged closer to home. She began attending Southern Oregon College (now Southern Oregon University) in the late 1960's, earned a teaching degree, and graduated with honors in the early 1970's.
