What are the most vivid memories from what has been told to you by your father, grandfather, other senior people?

I remember my father’s stories that are related to the Latvian writer Jānis Jaunsudrabiņš. My father attended Sološnieki school, which was located in our former family house. Next to it there was a new house built and there lived Šadurskis’ family people, and two rooms were rented out to the teachers. One of the teachers was the daughter of Rozenshield Paulin Modest, I can’t recall her name now. In the other room there lived Milda Ozola or Ozoliņa, who was Jaunsudrabiņš’ friend. Therefore, in summers the writer came to Sološnieki and he had also visited the school, which my father attended; that was in the end of the thirties, might have been the year thirty-seven or thirty-eight. My father remembered that Jaunsudrabiņš came to the class, he told something and treated pupils to candies. Jaunsudrabiņš often went fishing, he was a fisherman, exactly in the Sološnieki lake. And then, he cooked a perch on the stove that is still preserved; and I live in that house now.
