O.K. my dad is in prison for bank robbery and my mother has 6 kids and no means of support..
what about the money from the robbery you say, well most of it was given back . what was not given back is what my family spent to pay the rent and buy groceries..
interestingly enough for months after my dads photo and name appeared in the papers we had prowlers.
my mom said she thought that is was people who thought we still had some of the money hid around the house and wanted it. there were people under our house and wandering around our yard reqularly at night. and of course this scared the crap ( fine scottish verbage) out of us kids.
most of this i dont remember but bits and pieces do come through. i remember being scared because someone was outside our house at night. times were hard then, hard enough that people would steal from a woman and 6 hungry kids..
I vividly remember my mothers going to work at an A & W rootbeer restaurant. i remember this because she would have to work until late at night and i remember that she would wake us kids up when she would come in to feed us. they would let her bring home the left over food for us and i remember like it was last night the smells and the taste of the mama and papa burgers and the way they looked wrapped in the foil they came in. mom would bring home root beer in glass jars and we would have our main and sometimes only meal of the day late at night.. that was some of the best food i have ever eaten..
