Quotations with a citation

I remember one year when I had to take an apple to school every day because there was some poor child that Mother was helping and trying to persuade to remain in school and the apple was the reward, you see, for coming to school each day.

I really think that my parents, in many ways, were ahead of their time, certainly ahead of the community in which they lived, although they were both expert in adapting to the overall environment in which they lived.
