Back in January 2006 I read Hard Living on Clay Street. A book I had for nearly 20 years and is about 2 blue collar families in the 1960s. It was an interesting book, and I finally picked up the 1991 reprinting of the book, that includes an update on the families. Most surprising 2 of the 4 principals had died shortly after the book came out. Barry drowned in a boating accident, and June died of liver diease. It went on to talk about the other children. Some did well, other did about as you would expect. I was interesting to revisit this again.
