This was chilling for me to watch and absorb ...

20. My father was a little bitter

He felt his father gave too much. He basically gave everything he could.
My grandfather was paying off those 1930s debts (basically gifts during the depression to the townsfolk to keep them going) for much of the rest of my grandfather's life.
My father had two older brothers. He remembered the first article of new clothing he ever got: a new sweater when he was 12 years old. He had worn used clothes every day up until then and it stuck with him.
My mother lost her mother to cancer at the start of the depression. She nursed her father who suffered from war wounds until he wheezed to death from the gassing leaving her an orphan at age 15.

Back then, we had the capacity to produce our own food. Today, with all the imports and collapse of a lot of farms, I wonder about that.

I hope not but we could be in for a really rough time.
