Dad was a bit of ne'er-do-well as a teen but no felonies, I think, and had a job. Not a commie, total hillbilly.
Mom had a job, in Versailles in 1978 it would have been possible to survive on her job alone at the Sylvania factory. Also not a commie, a small-town gal. It's a GOP bastion now but back then probably split down the middle.
How did the manage to raise such a turd?
