A lot of you have mentioned the Great Depression. There is a wonderful book published by Reiman Publications (Greendale, WI) titled "We Had Everything But Money." It tells story after story of people coping with that historic time--all in a positive, uplifting way. I would recommend it to anyone. The book was published in 1992, but the following information may still be true: "For additional copies of this book or information on other book, write: Country Books, P.O. Box 990, Greendale, WI 53129. Credit card orders call toll-free 1-800-558-1013."

Both of my folks were children during the Great Depression--my dad on an 80-acre farm in southeastern Wisconsin and my mom in the city of Chicago. In many ways, Dad had it easier because they raised most of what they needed to eat. My mom can remember not having all that much on the table. But both of them taught us not to waste food and to finish everything on our plates--ideas that seem to be old-fasioned today. Funny, they're not old-fashioned to me. We raised our daughter the same way. David
