Buffalo, NY – WBFO presents another story that was recorded at StoryCorps in Buffalo this past summer. Ann Andsel and Joe Dittenhofer are siblings from a rather large family. There were 11 brothers and sisters in all, three of them adopted. The adopted children all had special needs. Their sister Helen, for example, was born with one arm.

Ann and Joe came to StoryCorps to talk about their lives growing up in South Buffalo. Click the audio player above to hear their StoryCorps conversation now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.
