They were a tough but loving bunch.<br /><br />BTW, "ration stamps" mentioned above were used to make sure you ONLY bought what was described on them and only the quantity allowed. Nothing was "given" to them, just restricted.

Great story. Yes that...Good Morning My Special One,<br />Great story. Yes that was the greatest generation. I used to love to listen to my dad tell stories about growing up. They really had it tough. There wasn't any goverment hand outs, except for the ration stamps but you could only buy certian items as far as I can remember him telling it. To have a piece of fruit was like having a piece of gold. To always be truthfull was the big thing. I think I would have loved to live in that life time.<br />Pass the pot please I still have time to sit with my friends and enjoy more of this conversation.JoJonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-46248603042806480892010-12-10T07:55:28.360-06:002010-12-10T07:55:28.360-06:00Good stuff, Mister Hermit, sir.
I wouldn't sa...Good stuff, Mister Hermit, sir.<br /><br />I wouldn't say that my generation (several removed from the Greatest) has lost, forgotten, or set aside those same values...but we certainly have altered their appearance a bit. What we value is different because we've grown up in different times.<br /><br />While I'll concede that many of us ARE conceited little block-heads, there are still one or two of us who will rally for a cause, to help a neighbor, to do what's right. We're no so good at conforming or toeing the line, though...much to the government's chagrine.<br /><br />I wonder if that library will keep the book in circulation or sell it? Often, libraries will sell less popular books to make room for new releases...and I bet that one would fetch a pretty penny at auction!<br /><br />Shade and Sweetwater,<br />K (who would probably have let the nice lady keep the book, with thanks for her honesty and conscientious efforts)Kyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-34688522064562358292010-12-10T06:29:00.279-06:002010-12-10T06:29:00.279-06:00Great story Jim!
