J.F. worked in the woods for a number of years, but never lived on a camp in his adult life, while Bernice was born on a turpentine camp and lived much of her childhood years on the turpentine quarters as well. J.F. and Bernice were married on a turpentine camp as well.
The sound quality of this recording is average, and there is very little background noise. J.F. and Bernice speak fairly clearly and audibly throughout.
