She grew up in Flint, Michigan. Arlene tells of her family's role in World War II and meeting her soon-to-be husband when he came home from the war. She and her husband, who was disabled in the war, started married life with a monthly income of $89 and had four babies in the four years that followed.  That was a challenge they conquered together through love for each other. Arlene will make you laugh and maybe shed a tear.  But if you enjoy good stories from a kinder, gentler time, listen to this podcast as she recounts her memories she put in her book "Homemade Noodles and Cars".
