In this episode of Golden Tidbits, we sit down with Joan Jewett, who takes us on a journey through her childhood in Red Elm and Dupree, South Dakota. Joan shares vivid memories of growing up in a small, close-knit community, where her father ran a Texaco service station and later, a John Deere dealership. She recalls the charm of small-town life, from playing hopscotch at school to watching her father haul ice to keep their family’s refrigerator cool.

Joan also reflects on the more challenging aspects of her upbringing, including growing up without running water and helping out at the family’s telephone office in Dupree. With humor and grace, she paints a picture of life in rural South Dakota during the mid-20th century.

Join us as Joan shares the trials, joys, and unforgettable memories that shaped her family’s story, and discover how these golden moments have remained with her throughout her 93 years.
