Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The secret chapter in the history of the band is that we are descended from a notorious woman who murdered men with a hatchet, scalped them, and later sold their scalps for a reward.

#2

The story of Hannah Dustin is a testament to the fact that women have always had the courage to go against the norm. She scalped her enemies, and the Massachusetts General Court paid her for the scalps.

#3

The Wilsons were originally from Corvallis, Oregon, where their ancestors helped establish Oregon State University. John Wilson was a peaceful soul and a gentle man, and he grew to be six feet three inches tall. He was funny and smart. He hoped to become a teacher.

#4

The following is a request from the army to its soldiers: comply with the wishes of the army concerning matters of close attachment and eventual marriage. The army loves you. You are hereby ordered to remain on active duty with your present organization and commandant.

#5

My mother’s marriage to John was a romanticized story that she often told us. It was a marriage that fell under traditional gender confines. She was leaving her blue-collar Oregon world for a Civil War wedding to a Marine officer.

#6

John was sent to the Pacific shortly after his wedding, and our mother moved back in with her parents. She took a job wiring Liberty ships for the war effort, but later got a job in a department store.

#7

The story of Lou and John’s marriage is one of the most romanticized ones I’ve ever heard. But the truth is that the perfect soldier is only flawless because he is off fighting a war. The man who was actually present was never going to be as romantic as an absent one.

#8

We returned to the states in 1948, and lived with Maudie in La Jolla. Our father was sent to Korea in 1950, and our mother heard nothing for weeks. She later learned that he had been killed in action.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

My mother had a few names for me, and the one I loved the most was curly-headed baby. It came from a song she sang to me when I was in the cradle. I had blonde curls, and I was to be her last baby.

#2

My mother decided we were going to follow Dotes to Taiwan. We left San Francisco on the USS General W. A. Mann, which was a troop transport that carried five thousand men. We were in Taiwan for three years, from when I was six until I was almost nine.

#3

Our family was constantly moving, which made it hard to make real friends. We learned at a young age not to make deep roots. The relationships inside our family took on more significance.

#4

My mother was always a little downhearted when we had to move, but she came up with elaborate rituals to help us deal with the transitions. When we left Taiwan, we tapped our shoes together and climbed back on a troop transport for the long journey across the Pacific Ocean.

#5

I began fifth grade that fall, and Nancy started first grade. For me, this was the beginning of a difficult socialization. I was heavier than my classmates, and other girls started to notice and make comments.

#6

Our mother, Dotes, was a very competent homemaker who could clean, cook, and sew. She was also a Marine wife who was constantly being transferred. She hated it.
