They used to take pictures of us when we were children. My mom would tell them that it was okay. They would give us a quarter. That was a lot of money in those days. If I put a quarter in my pocket, I thought I was rich. We didn't understand any English. They would talk to my mother and they carried around little cameras. They would take our picture. Then all of us would have a quarter. That's all that I know.
