The StoryCorps Mobile Tour returned to Fort Myers in February 2024 to record meaningful conversations with people right here in Southwest Florida about their lives.

Each Monday for the next several months, we’re highlighting some of the compelling stories from our fellow Southwest Florida residents.

In this installment, Susan Olson Faust, 65, interviews her mother Margaret Dietrich Olson, 89, about growing up during the Depression in the Midwest and about what life was like for Margaret’s Slovak immigrant mother.
