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. The answer was no he was also out of hay and all he had was some straw , but to go help himself and just take what he needed. They took a load of straw and that helped them through the hard times. Fast forward 75 years and that story is still around. My point is that you really wonder about two things at least. One , giving away your last bit of feed when you can't afford it to someone who is in worse shape than you but not by much. And 2, that is a long memory to still give credit to someone who passed over 60 years ago and still remember that action 75 years ago. I guess times were different back then, but I'm sure things like that happen yet today.
