When the Nelson's returned the following spring, Ed and Loretta moved in with Grandpa Louis & Grandma Anne. Virginia & Casimir were still on the farm at that
time. Construction began on Ed & Loretta's home in the summer of 1949. In the meantime, my crib at Grandpa Louis' was a dresser drawer. In February of 1950,
we all moved into our new home. There Raymond was immediately conceived. Construction began on Ed's barn the summer of 1950. Guy Slough was the head carpenter for both the house and barn with Ed and his brother, Casimir, assisting.
