"Looking back, they say the Great Depression started in 1929 but that never made any difference to us since all we knew was poverty anyway. To my way of thinking there was nothing 'good' about the 'good old days' and certainly nothing 'great' about the Great Depression or the Great Flood of 1948. But we got through it all, our way." Born into poverty in 1925, Jerry was raised by an extraordinarily resourceful mother who put her children first, but kept two tragic secrets from them--later revealed, and both painful. He was married to Ruth Grenz, "my best gal," for 61 years. A farm girl from Valley City, North Dakota, and one of 16 children, Jerry knew she was "the one." With Ruth at his side he bootstrapped his way through many hard times and good, through failures and successes. Now 90 years old, Jerry tells his story--as a son, husband, father, friend, chef, restaurateur, grandfather and great-grandfather--just the way he lived it: honestly and straight up.
