Obituary: May 21, 1927. This is an important day in aviation. For two reasons. The first is that this is the day Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris. The second is that this is the day that Fred and Anna Mehrer became the parents of Wilbert Mehrer. He was born in a small, one room home on a farm outside the little town of Lustre Montana. Early memories told to his children included images of living in a Mennonite community, speaking German, abject poverty, a beloved older brother Karl, and lots of work. He spoke of his father instructing him on how to put poison in gopher holes. He believed he was barely old enough to understand what he was told. And barely walking. He recalled that he didn understand was poison was, but did as he was told. He may have been 2 or 3 years old. His stories of this time always include his adored brother Karl. It cost 5 cents to see the movies, which always included serial movies. rarely, if ever, had enough for both of them to attend the movies, but could generally scratch up enough for one to go and then tell the story to the brother who didn go. Skeets favorite reading material was the comic book, Tailspin Tommy. Tommys mechanic was Skeets. That is where the nickname came from. He said that he and Karl would play Tailspin Tommy whenever they could. One time, they scrabbled enough lumber and farm gear to create what they thought was an airplane. had it hidden and were planning on when to toss it off a cliff with Skeets gloriously in control. This plan was hatched not realizing that the sleeping porch they used shared a wall with their parents bedroom. Fred waited until they were ready to fly this hunk of wood and surprisingly, the plane disappeared right before its maiden flight. Skeets also talked about a boat they built, which their father thought to try in a local river. It lasted until about mid stream until it sunk and their father had to swim to shore. Life in a farm during the depression in Mennonite community was hard, to say the least. Skeets talks about doing chores before school. Karl would harness the farm nag to the wagon, and the children would go to school in the wagon. School was a one room school house. Skeets first year of school was spent learning English. The second year, learning his ABCs. Skeets and Karl spent much of their early life harvesting food and supplies to support the family. Everyone in the family worked. Harvesting potatoes, Skeets would shake the roots until the potatoes fell out. Karl would take the potatoes and bag them. He said that Karl was the strong one who would have to do the heaviest jobs. Skeets was an original inspiration of Dennis the Menace. Even the only photo that exists of him as a child shows a remarkable resemblance to the character. He said he was always into trouble, and Karl was always getting him out of said trouble. Mennonite life centered on the church. Skeets talks about attending church and he said he could never sit still for the long sermons. Always fidgeting. Also, he was always finding ways to get into trouble. For example, he talked about sneaking out and letting the air out of tires of the Model Ts outside the church. He enjoyed watching the men have to hand pump the tires back up in their best, complete with tall hats and long coats. He talked about challenging a friend to see who could spit in the bald heads that passed below them. As he admitted, I always got beat on s. The depression hit the family hard. lost the farm in Lustre and moved several times to find work and keep the family going. Skeets remembers his dad got work through the government at a logging camp in the woods. He remembers seeing President Roosevelt visiting the camp and the long limousine going through the camp. Years later, thanks to Jim Clymer, Skeets got the huge pleasure of riding in that exact limo and sat where Roosevelt sat. For awhile, the family settled in Prosser Washington, near . That was a hard time for the family. Skeets showed his daughter a high trestle train bridge in Prosser once. He told her he recalled clambering under that bridge to catch squabs. Sometimes, this was the only meat on the table. He also recalled from his Prosser days that he and Karl would join their dad and a group of other men. would hide at night near where the train would stop. Once it stopped, they snuck into the coal car. Most of the time the car was mostly empty and the only coal there was iced hard onto the car. would take shovels and scrape off what coal they could get and bag it. At the next stop they would toss the bags out and sneak off themselves. That coal was important to keep their families alive during the cold Prosser winters. The only other fuel that they had for heat was what Skeets called Buffalo Chips aka dried cow manure. Later on in the late 1930s, the family moved to Portland to find work in the shipyards. This is where they settled. Then Pearl Harbor happened. Skeets was too young to join the military, but the Merchant Marines would take anyone who was 16 or older. With his brother, they both joined up. Skeets fudged his age from 15 to 16 at this time so he could join. This also meant the end of any regular schooling. He spent the war shipping on various Liberty ships and other tankers. For a young farm boy right off the farm, this service was quite a shock. He talked about the huge casualties in the early years of the war. And the painful memories of continued... |
