South Dakota State

Al and Elsie were of great help to me when I started college at South Dakota State. They supplied me with potatoes and eggs whenever I hitchhiked back from Brookings, South Dakota on weekends. I cooked for my American Indian roommate and myself on a one-burner hot plate. Neither of us had much money.  Sometimes we would eat out for the 35-cent liver and onion special. Our one bedroom with cooking privileges in the closet cost each of us $4 a week.
