Les,

My Father came 15 years after yours. His idea of the good ole days was the '50s. Survived The War, missed Korea, started working at Boeing.

His family survived the depression by gleaning the fields, odd jobs, one shell one animal, grow what you could, trade how you could, and work hard and save.

He almost bought a Ferrari in 1964 but Mother wanted a new Plymouth. Needed a four door for the second car...
