KAREN: So what was the hardest part of being a health aide?

AGNES: No doctors up here. That was the hardest thing. And no equipment. But when they got that new clinic, we call it the old clinic now, they finally got stretchers and of course all the medicine equipment.

KAREN: So, the old clinic, which was the first clinic, do you remember when that was built?

AGNES: No, gee. That was way before.

KAREN: Oh.

AGNES: She'd probably know when the old clinic was --

KAREN: So when you came in '61 there was already that old clinic?

AGNES: That old clinic there.

KAREN: Okay. And then there was a new clinic built?

AGNES: Uh-hum (affirmative). One right next to the old one. And they had elderly housing there. They have apartments.

KAREN: Do you remember when that clinic was built?

AGNES: At '70s, in the '70s.

KAREN: And that was where you worked?

AGNES: Uh-hum (affirmative). That's where Marge and I worked.

KAREN: And now is there a newer clinic?

AGNES: Newer one. It's out on the hill there. And that one, we didn't get to work in.

KAREN: Do you remember when that was built?

AGNES: Not too long ago.

KAREN: Like in the '90s?

AGNES: Uh-hum (affirmative). Think so.
