Grandma Mona:
First they burnt all our hay. And then a mean old looking cossack, started whipping my father.

Blair Warner:
How terrible.

Grandma Mona:
I ran over to him and I said 'you stop hurting my papa!' Then he put a gun to my chest and he said 'Lie down'.

Jo Polniaczek:
Geez Louise.

Grandma Mona:
And I said 'no, if you want to kill me, I'll stand'. He said 'I don't want to kill you, I want something else.'

Edna Garrett:
Oh my God.

Blair Warner:
What did you do?

Grandma Mona:
I don't know, without even thinking, God must've given me the strength, I gave him such a push that he fell back over a milk stool, and I began to run. And I ran and I ran and I ran, until I hid, in a corn field.

Edna Garrett:
And he never found you?

Grandma Mona:
No.

Edna Garrett:
Oh Mona, you're lucky to be here.

Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey:
And we're lucky we weren't there.
