Through all the bad times, there were also good times including many parties and dances in one another's homes. The men of the community also enjoyed the rabbit drives of which there was an abundance. Ernest and Verna had six children (Billy, Laverne, Marianne, Richard (Bud), and twins Kathleen and Kenny.
