"I remember March 30,1908.1 was in the first grade when the teacher marched us all down to see the Chicago and Northwestern wreck at the depot." "Then they let us out of school in a part of town we did net get to see very often", Givens recalled. "I lived in what used to be Centerville (the Green street area) and the wreck was in West McHenry." Givens worked for the McHenry Ice Cream company until it was sold in 1955. "Tom Bolger (Bolger's Drug store) called me and asked me to help out for six months or so because he was having trouble keeping help-I stayed for 10 years." He said he especially enjoyed Sports and Twice Told Tales.
