Vivian Hildebrand was born on a farm south of Kenton, Manitoba in 1930. Vivian jokingly says she was born in a henhouse, because that is what their old home became when her family moved to a new farm in 1931. The new farm house, affectionately referred to as “the shack”, was home to her parents, Lewis and Amy Richards and her three siblings, Lois, Kae and Barry. Vivian came into the world at the onset of the Great Depression, commonly referred to as the “dirty thirties”. It was a period of hard times for the Richards family and many of their farm neighbors.
