Difficult Years


My father grew up during a difficult time in U.S. history called the Depression. It occurred after the crash of the stock market in 1929, when my father was ten years old. Many people lost their businesses and their money, and my father's family was no different. The restaurant they owned closed because no one could afford to cat out. They had very little money, and my father often had little or nothing to eat during the day. Some millionaires killed themselves because they lost all their money. He had one pair of shoes, which he gotten from his father. He wore the shoes for many years put cardboard or newspaper in the soles when they got holes in them. During this of economic hardship, like many people, my father and parents lost their home, too. They had live in a two-room apartment with his aunt and uncle and their three kids. All in all, the Depression years were hard for most people, including my father.
