Special Thanks to Outstanding Community Collaborators
We are grateful for a generous grant from the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation of Duluth; to Cook County History Museum archives and curators; to youth Story Scouts participants and adult leaders from the Cook County YMCA and Cook County Community Education; generous grants from Minnesota Children’s Press donors who helped us rent a well-ventilated, spacious indoor studio for writing and illustrating when inhospitable weather prevented productive outdoor work. To all who helped us along the way, thank you! ​

With deepest gratitude and respect, this book is dedicated to the late Bob Pratt of Grand Marais, his wife Bev Pratt, and their lifelong mentoring and teaching friends, Gordon and Joyce Lindquist. All make Grand Marais a better place to live.

Together, these families made powerful differences in so many Cook County lives. Now 90, the Lindquists inspire us in 2020 through the stories they share about the resiliency, resourcefulness, and “riches” they experienced following the stock market crash of 1929 that began the Great American Depression. Gordon Lindquist expressed their riches as the food they caught, hunted, grew, and shared, and the family and friends they cared for as children in the American Depression 1929-1939. It was this commitment to caring that shaped the character and identity of Cook County, and which we strive to enliven with these stories and pictures to help guide children of Cook County into a bright and stable future.

We thank them all for the inspiration and hope they provide us, as children in the Pandemic Recession of 2020.
