Our story about Betty and Lulu, who grew up in peaceful times,
begins in 1933, during the depression, and ends in the early forties as
prosperity returned, as our country began mobilizing for World War II.
I
started this book because I thought it would be beneficial for young people,
like my talented granddaughter, Maria, to contrast growing up during the past
seventy-five years, with my formative years, a time of peace, from 1927-1941.
Our
childhoods were so very different. I've watched my granddaughter entertain
herself with technology from an early age. While she missed knowing about
doodlebugs, she can always look them up on her I-Phone or laptop. From a very
early age, she was aware of world events; whereas, I didn't realize that my
back yard in Kerrville, Texas, was not the center of the Universe until I
started to school.
