"I have another interesting story about her, told to me again by Letha. When she was about the age of the first photos, 1-2 years old, Bee, Letha and her used to play in the hayloft of the barn on the farm. They built a makeshift shoot with bales of hay from the top to the barn floor. Either Bee or Letha would take positions, one at the top..the other at the bottom. One would push Guila down the shoot and the other would try to catch her at the bottom. I guess she traveled at a high rate of speed, making it a dangerous game. But, once she was safely at the bottom, Guila would laugh and utter, "Doit, Din", interpreted as Do It Again. Letha admitted that they were taking a big risk with her life, but it was so much fun, they'd do it for hours".

Story about the time of the 1929 photos, this story about Guila handed down to her brother Darrell Tester: Darrell shares this story here.
