Sound - Description:
- Usery describes first memories of his two homes, including the home of his birth. He also compares the quality of life in the Usery household to that of other families. Usery discusses the post office as a centerpiece of community life. He also recounts his childhood purchases, chores, etiquette, participation in plays, attendance at movies, friends, medical care, and the later changing community sharing of goods. Memories of his mother's seamstress work, her hobby of ""watching"" people, her garden, and the impact of her discipline on Usery are noted. Mary Alice Hall's role in the home is also discussed. Although neither parent had specific career expectations for Usery, he describes his mother's mission for him and the importance of the dictum, ""Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.""
