Problem: W: Of course, Joey. What's your first question? M: Well,where were you living in 1940? W: In Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I was born and raised. M: Did you live with your family? W: Yes,with my parents and my younger brother. In 1943,I moved to Washington D. C. by myself. I got a job as a typist for a newspaper. M: What was D. C. like? W: It was an exciting time to be living there. I got my interest in politics from being in the nation's capital. When I moved to California,I went straight to Sacramento and got a job working for a state lawmaker. M: Were you in California when the war ended? W: No, I was still in D. C. I met my husband there, and we moved the following year, in 1946. M: How long did you work for the lawmaker? W: Well, I was a secretary for that politician for two years. Then I had my two girls and stayed home for a few years. But as soon as they were old enough, I ran for office myself. M: Really? Did you win? W: I did. I spent the next 20 years as a local politician. M: Wow. I've lived next door for years, and I didn't even know that! What was said before this conversation?
