Ralph Heiden - That is the only five generation picture taken with Grandpa Heiden.

Helen (Henning) Heiden - Who is that then?

Ralph Heiden - There’s Edna, Walter, Lauren, Grandpa and Lauren’s first son, Sean. Walter made me this nice print since he still had the negative.

Marie (Heiden) Tommelein - Denny got us an old newspaper for 1945, the year we were married. It was fun to look through but sometimes you’d look at a price and say, “God, it couldn’t have been that cheap back then!”

I remember the first year after we were married, bread was still rationed after the war. We had a neighbor who used to go and stand in line to get a loaf of bread. She would take her 16 year old daughter along with our ration stamp and get us a loaf too. I was at home with the baby and couldn’t go.

You had to wait in line at the Kroger store to get a loaf of bread.

Helen (Henning) Heiden - We only had one car in those days too so you couldn’t just go when you wanted to either.

Marie (Heiden) Tommelein - No. You were lucky if you had one car!
