Elder-talks about the Great Depression

The idea here would be to post text, audio, perhaps video of conversations with our very senior-most citizens who are still sharp in their memory of the Great Depression.

However, time is not working in our favor. These folks are generally pushing 90+ years.

This is something that i'm doing now, but i'd like to open it up so that others could post conversations of their own. So far, i''ve only met with a handful of folks during the lunch hour at the Boulder Senior Center, and another elder-care facility.

While having some downtime between work assignments, i've volunteered for Boulder Meals on Wheels. They're based out of the Boulder Senior Center, and i'm hoping that i might perhaps meet some more old-timers thata way & do some interviews.

Oh, this was cool ... on Bob Edwards Weekend radio program he had a piece over the Christmas weekend (2010), talking with this fellow, Ted Gup, who wrote a book recently, A Secret Gift: How One Man's Kindness -and a Trove of Letters- Revealed the Hidden History of the Great Depression. 'Definitely be reading that.

My aunt, Henrietta Bodlak, of NE Nebraska, sent me a nice letter, wherein she describes her recollection of that era.
