My dad told me he had to quit school, eighth grade his last, cause his family had to work. They followed the wheat harvest. His dad was a bootlegger when not following harvest.

My mother's family survived the Depression bootlegging. Quite a few did. A 12 year old great uncle was a "bag boy" for the East Chicago mob. That was the Serbian side. The Belgian side is much less interesting.
