I grew up in the inner city of Cleveland. The oldest of 7 children. My parents never owned a home, they lived in 21 different places by the time I was 17, including a couple of cars. I remember when there were 5 children and my parents living in a 3 room upstairs apartment on Cleveland's east side. My parents would sometimes sit in the kitchen at one of those old white enamel top tables, which, when the surface was chipped, was black underneath. When they counted their pennies, I could hear them clicking on the enamel top table. Click, Click, Click. </blockquote> ===Secondary sources for 1=== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Kucinich "Dennis Kucinich"] on Wikipedia *[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,920013,00.html?promoid=googlep ''Time Magazine'', "Stickup Surge"], 15 Jan 1979 : "Mayor Dennis Kucinich was withdrawing his personal savings from a local bank in protest because it demanded payment on its loans to the city, his brother Perry was making a far less publicized withdrawal at another Cleveland bank last month until he was caught and charged with bank robbery." *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=8213&iid=NEWS-OH-MA_JO_TR.1979_02_02_0001&r=an&rc=3726,5846,3819,5884;3337,5971,3509,6009&fn=&ln=Record+Perry+Kucinich&st=d&ssrc=&pid=513345537 ''Marysville Journal Tribune'' (Marysville, Ohio)], 2 Feb 1979, "Can Stand Trial" : "Akron, Ohio (AP) — US District Judge Leroy Contie Jr ruled today that the [sic] Perry Kucinich, the youngest brother of Cleveland Mayor Dennis Kucinich, is not now competent to stand trial on a federal bank robbery charge.
