Preface
The story in this book evolved from what began as an effort to record, for my nephews and other family members, a period in the life of my parents, C. A. and Helen Hussman Morris. With the sudden and unexpected death of my father in 1985, I realized that it was important for me to write down some of the stories I had heard from my parents or these would be lost forever. While growing up in Oklahoma in the 1940s and 1950s, my brothers and I were told many times about the hardships of the Great Depression of the 1930s and about many of the difficulties our parents had encountered during their early years of marriage. One of our favorite stories involved their living in a tent across the road from the school where they were teaching because there was no other place for them to live. My father, who was a very good storyteller, took great delight in marking off a nine-by-twelve-foot area and describing the inside of the tent in detail so that we were able to imagine the small space in which they lived during that school year.
