It was during the Depression and daddy did all kinds of jobs to support our family. He sold and delivered ice. He sold fish, door to door. He worked on the WPA, a good paying job at that time. Mom said we always had a warm place and food to eat. Later he worked for Cook Coffee Company as a door to door salesman and made $40.00 a week.
