O'Donohue, being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Well, let's start at the beginning. Would you tell me when and where you were born and something about your family? O'DONOHUE: I was born on October 27, 1931, in Detroit, Michigan. Both my father and mother were immigrants from Ireland, although they had met in Detroit. I was the first-born in the family. My father was a bus driver. I spent all of my youth in Detroit. Q: We're talking about when the Great Depression hit the United States. O'DONOHUE: Yes, although in those days the condition of “poverty” was so widespread that, as a child, I hardly noticed it, as a matter of fact. I can't really claim that the Depression ever bore very heavily on me. Q: I think that that's true of most of us at that time. It wasn't that bad a time for kids. O'DONOHUE: That's right. This was an utterly different kind of American society. This was actually the beginning of a period of “lean years.” We were children growing up in an Interview with Ambassador Daniel A.
