They Had To Live Through The Depression, World War Ii, And Then They Had To, You Know, Try To Pick Up The Pieces Of Their Lives And Bring Up Their Children. And, It Was A Great Example For Us. I Guess We Grew Up With A Certain Amount Of The Ethics Our Parents Had, Which Is, You Know: Work Hard, Make Your Own Way, Be Independent.
