I of course wasn't around for that, but my mother was. My father was still in Poland and a few years later may have wished that he had been here for the depression as opposed to what he and his family, friends, nation went through at the hands of Adolf. But my mother was here with her brothers and sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, children that moved back home with her/their parents. My grandparents had several families living under their roof that all pitched in on the farm. Everyone had to pull their own weight, or at least pitch in. My mother had a pet pig, a runt that she called "Ration" after food rations. Eventually, a fattened up "Ration" became dinner. One thing that Mom still makes from time to time that I love, are meatballs that aren't meatballs at all, but eggplant balls dipped and soaked in meat juices. Look and taste like meatballs, but are not. I love them. My brothers and sisters don't like them. Back when she was a kid...they were meat...but not. They absorbed grease or juice from the Sunday pork roast (Ration). Now days, smart phones are part of...rations and if that ever stops, the riots will never stop.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
