Another thread I am proud of...

And, no, it ain't just sentimentality...it's what I truly believe.


We are in harder times than most of us have ever known...unless we remember the ten lost years of the 'dirty 1930's'...or the years of World War II.


I was there, and you don't want to raise your babies in times like those.


But, one thing was proven...we are a resourceful race. Human beings have every reason to be proud.

One by one, we do our best...which is considerable.


I said to Mr. Enns who lived in Amsterdam through the bombing, "I can't imagine the people of my city, Vancouver, B.C., just coming out with wheelbarrows and shovels and digging out their neighbors."

He replied that, before the bombing, he would have said the same about the people of Amsterdam.


Then they starved. People of all ages slipped to the sidewalks, and died.


It was on the fiftieth anniversary of the end of WW II that I realized about the hunger.

Audrey Hepburn was there, and went hungry, too.


My uncle David had fought four years in Italy, then was transported with his companions to liberate Holland and Belgium.


In Holland, a day of truce was declared. Our armed forces supplied food, and the Germans distributed it.

People danced around our advancing soldiers.


Resourcefulness. We should not forget our greatest gift...no matter how rough times get.

There is always a way.
