[or-roots] depression and world war II

[CLEOQUILTS at aol.com]

I was a baby in the Depression, and Junior High age at the beginning of World 
War II.

I can remember my father working for a dollar a day.  Then he worked at the 
Kaiser Shipyard in Vancouver, WA, during the war.  My sister and I saw Mrs. 
Roosevelt christen a ship, and we were close enough to see her.

One set of my grandparents (Helgerson) came to Oregon from Wisconsin around 
1900.  The other set (Thomas) came to Oregon from <Missouri around 1900.  The 
Helgersons started at Hillsboro, and ended up at Dallas, and the Thomas family 
started at Beaverton and  ended up at Dallas.  Then my mother was born at 
Dallas, and so was I, and so was my oldest child.

It has been interesting to me to read all your stories, similar to mine but 
different.
