QUOTE : Probably the main thing that they passed on to me and my brothers is that there is value in just about everything. Experiences, clothing, skills, relationships — all have at least some value and you must not waste it. And we never threw away food. There was a time or two when that turned out not to be as beneficial as hoped. Also a very strong sense of family. I only knew one schoolmate growing up whose parents were divorced. There was honor and strength in working together and to being a good example for your children. For them, family came first.
