StoryCorps: Growing up in the Great Depression

The oral history project StoryCorps recently returned to northeast Ohio as part of its memory loss initiative. A couple of weeks ago, it spent a few days in Beachwood gathering stories from people who have Alzheimers and other kinds of memory loss. StoryCorps is sharing those sessions with WCPN. Warren and Annie Goodwin are husband and wife, but grew up in different generations. He's 87 and more than 20 years her senior. Warren told Annie about what it was like growing up in the heart of the Great Depression.
