So how come you and me managed to get educated, we went through that same depression.
We also did not take any handouts.

My father was a miner from the age of seven. When he became disabled I had to leave school at sixteen to help support the family. Long story short...I managed to graduate high school and attend night classes in New York State after my marriage. Bless my hubby...he was very understanding and encouraged me to grow.
I am blessed with a fine family and a thirst for life and learning. As are you Merrylander. That's what it takes I assume... and
ambition. Not a good day fellas. So excuse the rants.
