And in a recent experiment seeking solidarity with Oregon food-stamp recipients who live on an average of $21/week in groceries, Gov. Theodore Kulongoski was reminded of those lean days of his childhood.
"The governor, a former labor lawyer, state insurance commissioner, state attorney general and member of the Oregon Supreme Court, noted more than once during his week on the low-cost diet that he grew up an orphan in a Catholic boys home in St. Louis. He said Friday that he had learned to clean his plate no matter what was on it."
