[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2778647, member: 124360"] Yes sir, I'm very familiar. Grandpa born in '86, dad in '29. I remember the stories my family told of both the good and bad times. My dad lived through some good times- 9 year old kid out there mowing hay and plowing with horses, hauling hay with horse propelled buck rakes to the horse powered stationary baler, doing work with the whole family and learning (they didnt know at the time) what would shortly become the old ways. Then they got a tractor and a diamond truck. They lived through the dust bowl and the depression in southeast oklahoma- family of 13 kids, he was the 2nd youngest. His dad became bedridden with cancer. Crop in the field that needed harvested, and none of the older siblings came back to help. Just 13 year old dad 2 of his also young brothers out there trying to put up what crops came up. They had to fight- alot- just to keep what they had. The stories of good but unfortunate homeless folks getting help from them, and good for nothing bums trying to take what they could didnt fall on deaf ears for me. You had to be strong if you wanted to survive and keep a noble path. Things like neighbors shooting their dogs, and throwing skunks in their well- dad never said how that **** was stopped, but it didnt continue long. [/QUOTE]
