RAISED IN THE GREATEST GENERATION -

NO SILVER SPOONS. This, the story of my younger years from 3 years old to 17. I wrote this story not for any personal gain or sympathy, I an soon to turn 80 years of age, and I do not need either. Why this story? IN THE HOPE OF AND BY EXPLAINING WHAT IT WAS REALLY LIKE IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION YEARS, ONE OF ELEVEN CHILDREN AND AN EPILEPTIC MOTHER LIVING IN ABJECT POVERTY. IN MY 80 YEARS, I HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE THAT COULD RELATE A STORY, OF ABJECT POVERTY, THAT I AND MY FAMILY HAD TO FACE. YES I AM A WHITE MAN. IN MY BEGONE YEARS, I WOULD OFTEN SAY, OUR FAMILY WAS SO POOR, THAT THEY MY BLACK AND MEXICAN FRIENDS . YES, TWO OF THE RACES THAT HELPED MY FAMILY THE MOST IN THESE TRYING TIMES, WERE THE BLACKS AND MEXICANS. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT LOVE FOR THESE RACES, AND HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IT IN EVERYWAY I CAN. YET, TODAY, I AM CALLED, BY SOME,, A RACIST. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT POOR IS, READ MY BOOK. IF YOU DO, I ONLY HOPE YOU WILL FIND IT INSPIRATIONAL AND ENCOURAGING, THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT IN AMERICA--IF YOUR WILLING TO WORK AT IT. SUBJECT BOOK IS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON. COM, AUTHORHOUSE HOUSE AND OTHER MAJOR OUTLETS. THE MESSENGER
