We were a very fortunate family during the war years. My dad anticipated the war and had planted a number of fruit trees and a lot of vegetables in our family plot of land. We weren鈥檛 short of anything and our parents were good at making ends meet even with rationing. Some of the land was given to a nearby farmer who in turn gave us potatoes and sometimes even a leg of pork. I was born in the village of Talke in the 1930鈥檚. I remember the village - where all the houses are now - to be just fields. The farmer had special permission to take children from the school to pick potatoes. That was the best part to remember as children - not having to go to school but to play in the fields.
