In August 1984 Larry Barrett recorded some childhood recollections of the R.T.
Barrett family on 19 typewritten pages, in response to a request for same by
Barbara Barrett. Chapter VII is his conclusion, which follows:
I see this has become something of an essay, rather than the series of magic
lantern scenes I expected it to be. Well, we are too close to Barb's deadline
to redo and, since it wanted to come out that way, we'd might as well let it
have its head and conclude with an honest-to-God, all-out generalization.
Looking back from an age older than Mother was when she died and not so far from
the age Dad was when he did, over the heads, as it were, of Tim and Mike and
Barbara and Bob's kids and Heidi's, it is as if those years in Katonah were a
single year--spring, summer, and fall.
Only because Ruth and I have been young parents, do I know now how young
Mother and Dad were, how hard they worked, and how much they cared for us and
worried about us. They moved from house to rented house until there was the
time they bought the hilltop beside the dirt road in the pasture land and
planned a house. We went up there in the windy yellow grass and talked of where
it would be.
They found the house they wanted in HOUSE AND GARDEN or some such magazine
and bought the blueprints for $25.00. They made some changes and never finished
off the maid's quarters on the third floor, because they couldn't afford to and
couldn't afford a maid, and then times changed and families didn't have maids.
They used a contractor named Noyes, or something of the sort, in whom they had
unreserved confidence, and every evening when Dad got back from New York, they
went up there to watch its growth. Ralphy, the mason, tore out the fireplace
once or twice before he got it right.
Dad worked long hours, going to New York on the 7:50 or 8:10 and getting
back to Katonah about eleven hours later. At first he walked to the station --
this was before they built the house -- and then there was the first car, a
Dodge bought from a George Tator in South Salem in whom Dad had implicit trust.
The back of the front seat (made of wood, remember) gave way once when he pushed
too hard on the brakes, and scared hell out of Mother. Then there was a time
when Bell Telephone went to half days on Saturdays and shortly thereafter to
five days a week. That put Dad in a rather special class, for most people were
still working six-day weeks. Mother worked as hard as he, not five days each
week but seven, cooking, canning, washing, mending and just doing her level best
bringing up kids.
Dad worked on the place with an almost obsessive dedication. He made a
shady garden, a lily garden for Mother, a lily pond down by the brook with
exotic water lillies in it, and a rock garden with a sundial in the middle.
Saturdays he worked from first light until supper and sometimes after supper. He
was quietly proud of it, as he was of anything he did. He loved to write, and
he loved his work and often brought it home and worked late in his study, and he
poured himself as unreservedly into the house and the gardens. Mother shared in
the planning and the pleasure of creation, and she gave herself to making a home
for us as whole heartedly as did he. But she gave herself with more tension,
unfortunately -- perhaps with more sense of duty and less joy. Anyway, it took
more out of her, and she died too soon.
But before that there were the years when we were all together there, the
years of soap-box racers and putting on plays in the garden, and church on
Sunday afternoons and the summer trips, and the picnics. And then we grew up
and began having to find ourselves, and Bob and I played out the old, old story
of the certain man who had two sons, the older and younger brothers, as Tim and
Mike have had to act it out. And I came home and told Mother I was going to
become an Episcopalian and that I drank and did not think it wrong. And
Adelaide came home with her name changed to Heidi.
The gardens got to be too much. Perhaps Dad never felt the same about it
after Mother died. He had built them with her and for her, and every Saturday
evening she had come out and approved and admired his day's work with every bit
as much appreciation as she showed for the gifts we kids made her for Christmas.
He was aging, suffering from Parkinson's Disease -- stoically still -- and the
lily pond gave way to brush again down by the brook, and finally I went back and
cleaned the place out and sold it to someone we had never known with a name I
had never heard before.
But when I keep catching myself calling Bob "Mike" or saying, "Let's call up
Heidi," when I really mean "Let's call up Barb," I marvel at how each generation
reenacts the past, and how permanent it all is, and still how unsubstantial.

!Laurence Michael Barrett. Autobiographical sketch prepared for the Barrett
Family Reunion held August 11, 1990 at Port Hadlock, WA.:
I'm the middle child of Ruth and Larry Barrett. My older brother's Tim;
younger sister, Barb. I grew up in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. When I was
eight we moved out of town to a farm house. When I was twelve and thirteen, we
lived in Chile; Tim stayed in Michigan in a private school. After Chile we
moved back to the farm house.
After high school I lived with a girl-friend in Massachusetts for a year
and then came back, pretty much, to Kalamazoo. I worked wage jobs -- cook,
factory worker -- until I was 26 then entered college. Except for my last year
of high school at an "alternate" school, I have attended state and public
schools.
I taught high school art one year after I graduated college, then entered
graduate programs in writing. I just completed a masters degree in creative
writing. I'm not married yet.
I'm going to be the "Fiction Fellow" at the University of Wisconsin
Creative Writing Institute next year, and this November a story I wrote will be
read on National Public Radio -- I'll say I dedicate that story to Uncle Bob.
