Fantastic read Jim, thank you for sharing! I am going to steal this and post on FB if you do not mind, as I have never come across this story. These type of stories really hit home for me as I grew up on food stamps for a few years when I was a little tyke. While my mother always made sure there was food on the table, there were many sacrafices that I can remember.
Merry Christmas to all of my TOO brothers and sisters!
