Joe thinks his father came to Canada in 1902 or 1903 with his parents. They arrived in Gimli, Manitoba for 1 or 2 years, before moving to Ozerna for land. Joe's mother came to Canada a few years after her sister came to Canada and got married, but their parents did not come to Canada. Joe isn't sure where his mother and aunt arrived in Canada, but they were married in the Ozerna area.\n\nJoe says his schooling was good. \"A grade 10 in Manitoba is like grade 14 in States\", according to Joe. The school Joe went to only went to grade 8, any higher and a student had to go to Newdale, but Joe did not go to that school. Once Joe was 15, he went to work, so he never finished grade 10. People could also take their schooling through correspondence.\n\nJoe did everything in his years, from butcher to musician. He was also a mechanic and electrician.

Joe was married in 1945.\n\nJoe's parents did farming as he was growing up. They always had enough to eat. They raised chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, and pigs. They grew wheat, barley, and oats. Back then, there was no combine like there is today. Joe describes how harvesting was done in those days. Joe's older brother went to work when he finished school, as did Joe.

In winter, they had to use horses to get to town as there was no such thing as a snowplow. In 1946, they had snowplows to open the main roads, but not the side roads. Ozerna had a school, but it later closed and was replaced with a statue. Every church had a community hall where dances would be held.
