<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3960617, member: 74863&quot;]My dad was born in 1910, mom in 1916. The depression was very bad and a large number of people killed them selves. My dad just finished high school and he supported the family, his mother who was a widow, 2 brothers and a sister. </p><p><br /></p><p>He had a job setting up pins in a bowling alley. Nothing electronic had been invented at that time. When the depression really got bad he lost his job to a married man as they had preference. </p><p><br /></p><p>All through the depression his mother never turned anyone away. If a bumb knocked on the door she always gave them a hot meal. After they left she would go out and scrub the crub. She had to as the curb had been marked to identify the house as a hand out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like the vast majority of people, no one could save coins or money for that matter. Every penny meant something precious! That is something we can not understand to this very day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
