Description: "The oral histories and photographs found in this book reveal the lives of 30 Ipswich, Massachusetts seniors born before 1930. Through these portraits, we come to know a generation that grew up during the Depression, came of age during World War II and settled down during the simpler times of the '50s. Stories of new Americans, hard work, hope, joy, love and loss give us perspective on our own lives, and encourage us to reflect on what we bring to the places where we live and how we are in turn shaped by those places and our times." -- From back cover.
