While it was truly a horrific time for those involved, I've wondered for a long time how much longer the stories of the Great Depression will continue. They simply don't have the same meaning to rising generations that they did 30 years ago. Even more sad--even tragic--would be a loss of meaning of pioneer stories. David,
