Generations, Great depression

My parents were born in the early 1910s. They had 67 years of marriage with seven kids. I am sure all nine of us touched this pink blanket. We lived through the Depression on the Warm Springs res, and as my father said, we didn’t even know there was a depression going on, it was normal life to us.
