Patricia MacDonald grew up in Oklahoma to parents who farmed during the Great Depression. She discusses her family’s history of coming to Texas and Arkansas in covered wagons. She talks about her time at Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) as an undergraduate student and dating her husband during World War II. After the war, her and her husband lived in French-occupied Berlin and witnessed first hand the desegregation of the army. MacDonald and her husband returned to OSU as graduate students in the 1950s and then moved around the world until they left the military because of the controversy surrounding Vietnam. She talks about eventually settling in Arkansas when she retired and writing three cookbooks which served as social histories for Oklahoma during the Great Depression.
