Interview with Roy Wilhelm, October 31, 1993

'''Roy''':  Pa was the best neighbor anybody ever lived by because he worked at it, he wanted to get along with his neighbors, he valued neighbors.  He was a good man, but he lived by some sorry ones.  Pa was quite a lady's man.  He was an attractive fellow, especially in his younger years.  He was king of the may in Concho.  May day seemed to be their big, among the Mormons, I think it's an English holiday, May day?  But anyhow the southern Utah Mormons made a great deal of fuss about it and so it was in Concho.  That was the big thing, they didn't celebrate the 4th of July, they celebrated May Day.  The queen of the may and the king of the may, the two best lookin' kids in the town got that.  Pa was king of the May two or three times.  Great honor.  Remember when I was a kid why people would say, "Why your dad was king of the May."  Didn't mean a damn thing to me.  When you get older, John, you analyze the lives of your ancestors.  They don't all turn out the way you'd have it.  But it's their life and I don't hold it against them anything they've done....  It's a great thing to get old, you get a new set of values if you get thinkin' about it at all, I believe that some people don’t hardly remember what their own name was, the past don't mean anything to them.  Kind of lonesome.  When you get my age, you get tired of helping bury people not as old as you are. There aren't any old ones dying anymore, just young ones.
