Raised by grandparents in Oklahoma whose parents both made the land run and were hard scrabble farmers. They lived through boom, bust, dust bowl and depression, but my grandpa and grandma both went to college and became teachers. My booster chair was a 6-inch thick 1940's era Websters Dictionary. Books are NOT to be burned.
