Nick left his village at 21 years of age and arrived in Edmonton. He had friends in Canada that would write back to them, so Nick wrote to them saying he was coming.\n\nAt the time, there were many jobs on the railway as part of work gangs. One of Nick's friends made arrangements and came by to pick Nick up to take him to  a workplace in Gainford, Alberta where Nick's friend knew a boss and could give Nick a job. Nick arrived in Edmonton on a Saturday and was in an extra gang by Tuesday. After 15 years, Nick was head foreman of the gangs. Nick was surprised as he thought Canada was a paradise, but instead he was a working stiff, just like anybody else.\n\nNick was born February 5, 1907. Nick immigrated to Canada in 1928 when he was 21 years old. Nick's family did not immigrate with him. He was married in Europe, but came to Canada by himself. He was supposed to go into the Romanian army (which controlled Nick's village at the time), but Ukrainians didn't like the Romanians and the Romanians didn't like the Ukrainians. So Nick's wife and her mother suggested Nick go to Canada instead of spending 3 years in the Romanian Army for nothing. Nick was a good musician and managed to purchase a tsymbaly in 1930.\n\nNick found it difficult to keep a steady job during the 30s, so he was unable to bring his wife over to Canada. When war broke out in 1939, his wife and son were killed as the Germans went through to Russia. Nick's daughter went to live with her uncle and still lives in Europe. She had a lot of family in Ukraine.\n\nNick later operated the plow for railways in winter.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021#t=0.0,495.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021/index/52100/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Parents, railway, schooling","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021#t=495.0,780.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021/index/52100/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Nick's father was a railroad man.

Nick's parents were born in the same village as Nick. His wife was also born in that village. Everyone spoke of Canada as a paradise, but Nick discovered that everybody had to work.\n\nNick never travelled too far from Alberta because he loved his job with the railway. In 1930, he purchased his dulcimer and started to go play with people, but never too far from the railway. In 1967, Nick retired due to a bad back and lives off of his pension. Nick was a dulcimer soloist player and he played for many groups.\n\nNick went to school until the First World War when his school was converted into a hospital. He only went to school for 4 or 6 months. Nick was so determined and managed to teach himself how to read and write.

Wheat was a general thing they would eat. They would also make holubtsi. The meal, however, could contain no meat. The next day, they could have meat. They still try to prepare things the way they should. Nick celebrated Christmas with his neighbours and the people he knows. Sometimes he had to miss these Christmas meals if he was called to play music or called to work.\n\nFood purchased did not have the same variety as now. He would purchase bologna, pork sausage, and things like that. They purchased what was available.\n\nNick grew potatoes, onions, and other things that grow in the garden. He had his own garden even when others did not. The wife of Nick's foreman commented that no one had a garden, but Nick replied that if he didn't have a garden, he wasn't going to eat. The foreman's wife planted a garden every year after Nick left that workplace. Nick wasn't afraid of any job: he would do any job to make a dollar. He worked in a mine, played music, slinged beer in a hotel for 85 cents an hour which was big money. After the war started, jobs started to open up and everyone could hold a job and wages started to rise.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021#t=1050.0,1492.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021/index/52100/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Housing, religion","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021#t=1492.0,1741.29633"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58720/file/133021/index/52100/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Nick didn't own a house until 1960 (it is the house they are conducting the interview in).

Nick remembers a wedding he played had hundreds of people. It didn't matter how rich or poor someone was: all that mattered was who knew who. Playing a large wedding was good because everyone could see Nick play (good advertising). The weddings had to have good food and good clothes. Everyone would try to behave normally (no fighting or anything). Some people could be a problem and Nick could see the troublemakers from the stage. He could read their body language.\nWeddings would see wreathes being made. Nick doesn't remember if wedding trees were decorated.\nThe church service is not something Nick can describe as different churches did things differently. After the service people would go home.\nSometimes, Nick would take payment in kind. He was once paid with an entire pig which lasted him half a winter.
