Carolina Richards was born in South Carolina, that is where she got her name. Born at the Base Hospital in Columbia South Carolina December 23, 1945. She thinks it was later in the evening because her mom didn't want to go to the hospital until she had her tree decorated. She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz.
Favorite childhood memory was riding in her pony carts with Molly, her Shetland pony. She would ride in the parades and around town with Molly. Molly was a black and white grumpy Shetland. If you turned your back on her she would bite you. If she didn't want you to ride her anymore she would just lay down and roll over. You had to be ready to jump off quickly. She was 10 years old at this time. The boys always did competitions with their horses but she didn't.
Her favorite color is blue -- the same as Keatons.
Her favorite sport was football. Just something she liked to watch football but she didn't play any sports. She was in the band.
When she was a kid she would play hide and go seek with her friends in the cemetary. You weren't supposed to play there so when the police came by they would hide.
Keat -- "Did your mom and dad ever find out that you played in the cemetary?"
Oh ya, they knew it!
Grandpa moved into the neighborhood when he was 8 years old. There was 13 in their Sunday school class. Those strong kids were responsible for helping my mom get to church. Her family didn't go to church except for her brother Guy. Guy started going regularly to church in highschool. He had good friends that pulled him along till he decided to serve a mission. He went to the Alaskan/Canadian mission.
Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Richards were not active in the church while my mome was growing up. Grandma went occasionally. Grandma Boody (Clara Larsen -- and later Clara Zimerman) was Grandma Richards mom and Carolina's grandma. She was active and came along to help her to go to church.
