My father's family survived the depression as itinerant farm workers, picking fruit in Colorado and cotton in west Texas. Anxious about relying on their old age pensions, Mamaw and Pawpaw pulled cotton every fall well into their 70s. If the bailout doesn't work, maybe I can carry on the family tradition.
