two perspectives
My grandma (Winona) and her sister (Millie) were young girls during the Great Depression. Throughout my childhood, they’d tell stories about those days... two very different stories. To hear Grandma tell it, the Great Depression was the worst. It absolutely ruined her childhood. They didn’t have money, were always hungry, and everyday life was miserable. To Aunt Millie, though, the Great Depression was a roaring party!
