As a kid, Mom would always drag us along to shop the farmers produce stands, and we did a fair share of gleaning, being raised in a frugal, Ukrainian-descended household, eating a lot of vegetables. I love the mix of peoples who populate my home region, and deeply appreciate discovering that the aboriginal people of the area are now more accepted, along with the richness of the Hispanic and European and Asian cultures so prevalent in the area. I remember life growing up in Seaside and Monterey as a real "salad bowl" of races, traditions, languages and beliefs. Thank you for capturing these stories and sharing them with us all. Last week, StoryCorps ended it's month-long visit here in Eugene, Oregon, where I now live, so it's been a double serving of meaningful encounters and some terrific storytelling!
