Ep. 16 Winning the Huck Finn Contest

"Growing Up Poor in Irish Boston” is a&nbsp; podcast series, colored with humor, nostalgia and pathos.&nbsp; It’s about a Boston tenement kid,&nbsp; born in 1939, clawing his way out of poverty by being hard-working, creative, persistent, entrepreneurial and by taking risks often. There are also stories of my later life in Boston, Cambridge and New England. If you like old Boston stories or Irish-American stories or old Cambridge stories, this is your podcast. If you like&nbsp; Pull-Yourself-Up-By-The-Bootstrap type stories and/or down-to-earth philosophy with a Roman Catholic, funny and relatively conservative slant, then this is for you.&nbsp; I am Roderick Patrick Murphy, born into a large, loving Irish family in Boston, widowed after 50+ happy years. So I am now doing some writing, volunteering&nbsp; and learning how to be a bachelor again.
