The interview begins with Gardner McNaulty talking about growing up on Jones Brook Road in Moretown, Vt. The interview then focuses on Francis Jacques, a more recent resident of Moretown. Discussed are "kitchen junkets"(farmhouse square dancing and hard cider get-togethers), clearing the roads of snow with roller and horses, people helping each other, and other life philosophies. Jacques also talks about fixing up a bus in the early 1950's and traveling the country with his wife and mother-in-law, riding up Camel's Hump on a horse, being struck by lightning three times, and varied other aspects of Vermont life, and life in general, that he thinks have gone wrong in these more modern days. Further in the interview Jacques is joined by Percy Manning. All agree that life was better in the "old days." Last section of the interview has Jacques and Hubbard riding around the area visiting the "Sleeper place" (a 200-year-old farmhouse), an area called the "Lost Nation, " and "Party Hill."
