My great uncle passed away this last week at the age of 92 after a good life. At the funeral the deacon delivered a homily telling stories of him and his brothers(my grandpa was one). One of the stories was about my great grandfather during 1936 and the deacon was starting to choke up telling about it. In the middle of the depression and terrible drought the deacons father ran out of hay for his livestock, as they were sort of neighbors to my great grandfather he asked him if he had any hay he would sell him.

I guess times were different back then, but I'm sure things like that happen yet today.
