This was wonderful, and what a great speaking voice Doris has. Long Island must have been virtually empty back then compared to now. Actually, where I live in Seaford a man just sold his family farm the size of an entire block about a year or two ago, and now they're building houses on the land. I always wondered how he could afford paying the property taxes every year since he was so elderly. It's unbelievable how luxurious life has become since the 1930s.
I've got some of those ration books from WW2 and I remember grand-mom jacobs hanging noodles and grandpa working at s.s.the crenshaw's,j.d.was a merchant in va.and I also don't no what he handled nor did I know him or my granddad j.d. jr as they both died before I was born in 41.thank you doris for a little slice of heaven to have some of that bread,pastrys or candy and to have a goat or chickens in the city
