"The Good Years"
A Philosophy Set To Verse by Carole Nelson, a Staff writer
Motherhood, the flag, and apple pie - that's the world of Minnie Schofield and one she's captured in verse in over 40 years of poetry writing.
Minnie and her husband [Ross M. Schofield] live in a narrow old-fashioned house at 433 Mt. Ida St., the same place they've resided the [?]1 years of their marriage. (Mrs. Schofield has four children from a former marriage.)
Most recently, she's had an article published in Amateur Writers Journal titled "What is a Woman?" It makes her philosophy perfectly clear. Womanhood, believes Mrs. Scholfield, is all wrapped up in babies, home and hearth and husband.
Minnie has practiced what she preaches and maintains that she's "not much for Women's Lib." In 1965 [unclear, could be 1966], she had a slim book of verse, "Along the Way," published.
Minnie's poems are not sophisticated or complex works and she doesn't claim that they are. Mainly, they're simple songs celebrating the gambols of a child or a dog, a fine spring day, or the way she feels about God and country.
Several of her poems were published in the World's Fair Anthology (1940).
Mrs. Schofield also writes verse for songs and has had a few "demonstration" records cut. Who knows, someday "A Pink and a Blue" may be a hit? One of her lyrics was set to music and recorded by the Andrews Sisters, but its words rather than music that Mrs. Schofield treasures.
If Minnie is a rhymer, he husband is a designer. His most interesting project is a series of three-dimensional plywood Christmas tree ornaments, all brightly painted and decorated, that grace the Schofield household all year long because of their attractiveness.
Schofield retired from a maintenance position a few years ago; Mrs. Schofield had worked a while for a laundry and done some babysitting, but now the couple are living a quiet retired life.
Minnie has garnered a few rejection slips in her "career" but her main pleasure comes from writing. Getting things published she says, takes someone to "push" but she keeps on trying.
Perhaps her philosophy of writing and living can best be summed up by a few lines from a poem at the end of her book, "My Prayer."
"Let my eyes Your beauty see
Even in a barren spot -
Let me never be unkind,
And remember 'Judge ye not ...' "
Photo of Minnie & Ross Schofield, in their home, is to the left of the above article with the following caption: "Separate Skills but a happy life together - that sums up retirement for the R. M. Schofields. Minnie writes and her husband paints and constructs Christmas tree decorations like the brightly-painted managerie figure he holds."
