What was the longest project you worked on? 154-155 What were your favorite toys as a child? 1 The first “toy” I ever had that springs to mind, was a pedal car my dad [Johnny Krause] made for me in celebration of my fourth birthday. At that time, 1946, our family lived in Napa, California. Dad was a master machinist and welder. He crafted the pedal vehicle from scrap metal in his spare time when he worked at Mare Island, California, during World War II. I enjoyed toys that demanded some type of physical activity - such as scooters initially, and as I grew older, bicycles of various types. Soon after moving to Fort Peck, Montana, my parents bought me my first bicycle, a Schwinn. It had one gear. This bike gave me an extraordinary amount of freedom and I could and did travel for miles along the Missouri River road and across the Fort Peck Dam next to Fort Peck Lake. I ran errands and rode with my friends as we traveled the Fort Peck community just having fun riding around and talking. We liked to bike along “Big Shot Row,” around the Fort Peck Hotel and Administration Building, and downtown near the Fort Peck Theater. If I had any money, I would usually stop in at the drug store and get a candy bar. My favorite was the Pay Day candy bar because of its large size and it was covered with peanuts. It cost five cents. On longer rides, we biked to Wheeler, a small shantytown to the northwest on highway 24, and looked at the old Buckhorn Club that had such a bad reputation. To jazz up our bikes my friends and I attached playing cards to the bike frame held in place by close pins. The cards were oriented in such a way that the spokes of the bicycle wheel hit them as the wheel turned creating noise. We thought our bicycles sounded like motorcycles when we got up to speed. Everyone had their bikes equipped with playing cards. Our parents discouraged us from biking to Wheeler but we just had to go a few times and see what all the fuss was about. On other long excursions we would take another road to Nashua, Montana, but rarely got that far. On occasion we would have races to the Fort Peck Park located down by the Missouri River beneath the dam by taking a very steep long river road, particularly if a new kid arrived in town. We had to test him out. I had one major accident on my Schwinn. My friends and I were riding behind Big Shot Row when this happened. This particular road was paved and laid out in the shape of an oval with another road joining it at the opposite end. As we were riding down the adjoining road to race around the oval, I started showing off for my friends. “Look! No hands,” I yelled, as we sped along the road. Then I went one better, “I will ride with no hands with my eyes closed and looking backwards so all can see.” What I didn’t see [why, I cannot explain as I have 20/20 vision] was a large grader or road maintainer, a piece of heavy equipment used to level or smooth roads, parked at the beginning of the oval. At full speed I ran right into the two back wheels, knocking myself unconscious, and bending the front wheel of my bike. My friends had a good laugh after I came too, examined my bike, and then helped me home to face disciplinary action from my parents for ruining my bicycle. When I lived in Fort Peck, during the summer, my friends and I also spent a few afternoons at the swimming pool. It was a complete pool with two springboards of different heights and a stationary high diving platform. At this point in my life I don’t know if I really knew how to swim or not, but could navigate the pool with ease. My friends and I would bike to the pool after lunch, spend part of the afternoon to cool off and then bike home or be off on some other adventure. For whatever reason, we never swam in the river or the lake even though these were very clean, clear waters. Perhaps it was to cold or our parents discouraged it in fear that we would drown. I truly enjoyed the freedom of being able to get from one location to another quickly, riding with friends, and just having the exhilarating feeling of wind in my face as we sped down hills and around winding curves. At this time, when I was about ten years of age, playing marbles was the rage. Other than playing baseball during the summer, playing marbles was a major pastime, one that required gamesmanship. We played three marble games. PITS. In this version of marbles, a small deep pit was dug into the ground and everyone who agreed to play put a marble into the pit. A distance from the pit was decided and a line drawn. Each player would stand behind this line and throw another marble and try to get it into the pit. If successful one could claim all the marbles in the pit. 2 If two players were successful, a playoff was held to determine who got all the marbles.

    Larry Sidor Oral History Interview, November 6, 2015 Title “From Olympia to Deschutes to Crux: A Brewer's Life” Date November 6, 2015 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In the interview, Sidor discusses his family background and rural upbringing in La Grande, Oregon, commenting on his father's activities as an OSU Extension Agent, his own boyhood interests in mechanical work, and the life histories of his mother and his siblings. From there, Sidor recounts his undergraduate years at Oregon State University, noting his switch in majors from Mechanical Engineering to Food Science, and commenting on the curriculum then available to undergraduates in the Food Science department. Sidor likewise reflects on the research that he conducted while a student and, in particular, his interest in winemaking during that time. From there, Sidor details the circumstances by which he declined a handful of job opportunities in the wine industry, opted instead to travel for a year in Europe, and began considering a career in brewing as a result of his experiences in Germany. He then traces his first connection with the Olympia Brewing Company; outlines his advancement within the company from packing quality control technician, to assistant brewmaster, to operations manager; shares his perspective on the brewing culture then prevalent at Olympia; and speaks of the connections that he made with hop growers in Washington and Oregon. Sidor next provides an overview of his years working at the S.S. Steiner company, shares his memories of the rise of microbreweries in the 1980s and 1990s, and reflects on the relationships that Steiner maintained with agricultural scientists at OSU.
