Financial Crisis

The current financial crisis that many face on a worldwide scale brought back to mind the Great Depression Era. A different time and different sets of problems but nonetheless the same human strength and courage is needed. How bad was the Great Depression of the 1930's?

It needed to be written about again and as I stopped to reflect often I spent an entire day creating this lens - The Great Depression Era

I remembered the stories told by my family and found many stories told by other families of how they coped and often had to leave their dreams to the relentless dust storms and the grasshoppers that ate everything in their path including the clothes hanging on the line to dry.

To all those people who are 'voices of the past" ...."we thank you!"

Read The Great Depression Era and then gratefully count your blessings.
