I recall as a child, listening to my grandparents talk about the events and life leading up to WWII. Only one set of them would discuss it around and with me. The other set refused to say a word. The grandparents who talked to me were born in 1921 and 1922. They did recall many of the depression years. To them it just was how it was. There was not much recollection of “good times” prior to the 1929 stock market crash. They grew up in Hartford CT. I know my great grandfather had a steady job as a city police officer, so I suspect his son, my grandfather, was not in the dire straits that so many others were. My other great grandfather worked as a steam fitter for the railroad, and other buildings during the 1920’s and 1930’s before becoming a stenographer in the 1940’s. Again, a steady paycheck coming in.
I recently heard that a friend of a friend scoffed at growing his own food and any form of disaster preparation was a waste of time. His plan, he boldly shared, is to take at gunpoint from those who spent the time to prepare!!!
