Abstract:
This interview contains memories related to a number of various subjects, some of which include: Family, the lumber industry, local stores, local businesses, philanthropy, various organizations, painting, and poetry.

The first interview with Louise Dodson was dated August 28, 2002. Several times during this interview, Louise responded to a question by saying she had answered it “in that book,” referring to A View of the Past, a small book of essays and poems she wrote for the 2002 centennial celebration of North Powder. The editor has therefore drawn from that book to elaborate her answers to interview questions, combining her written and spoken words.
