Abstract

Fuller gives a bit of family history and tells of his parents' homestead in Mesa where they settled and raised dairy cattle because of the good weather and affordable land. Fuller attended school in Mesa and Gilbert, graduated from Tempe Normal School, and went on a mission to Chicago for the Mormon Church. He recalls playing basketball and going to the Mezona every Saturday to dance. He also remembers seeing President Theodore Roosevelt when he was... in the second grade. Fuller tells of marrying Faun Ellsworth in 1932 and hiring Joe Standage to build them a house in which they still live. After teaching school for many years, Fuller reentered the dairy industry.
