More memories, courtesy of Dr. Michael O'Brien's oral histories of the Twin Cities. Many of these stories are reminiscent of things I heard from my own parents- odd jobs during the Depression, hand-me-down clothes, and stretching the food budget via gardens, canning, and making soup out of leftover bones, etc. Regardless of the adversity, kinship and family values ruled the day and saw these residents through the hard times.
