Father's Decision to Buy the Farm
Transcript
I always thought he was pretty smart to buy that little farm, because it was just great. It carried us through the Depression. We had just about everything that we needed there, as far as food was concerned. We had several rows of grapes. We had just about every fruit tree that you could think of. 'Course we had a garden every year. We survived on that! In other words, the only thing we really bought, that I can remember, were like, flour or sugar or things that we couldn't raise on the farm. We had chickens and we had cows and we had horses, and we churned our own butter, and my mother made cotta (sic) cheese, so we were kinda self-sufficient.
