My Father and a Pandemic

• Notes from Kathryn

This is a true story

Once upon a time , a long time ago, there was a boy named Marven. And there was a pandemic in this country. The year was 1918. The boy Marven was ten years old. His parents loved him so much that they sent him on a train to the far north woods to a logging camp on the Canadian border where they thought he would be safer.
When the train stopped he got off and putting on his skis skied the rest of the way in. He stayed at the camp for many months. His job was to keep the accounts and the payroll for the lumberjacks. 

This is a true story and the boy Marven grew into a man and he became my father, Marven Lasky
