Your grandparents truly operated with the Golden Rule philosophy. Irregardless of one’s religious affiliation it is incumbent on all of us to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. I don’t say it’s easy, but I do believe by extending ourselves in the service of others we benefit as much as those receiving.

@cjarlottematheny My father was an optometrist, not during depression. We lived in a tiny village in Northern California in early 1950s. He did same thing. I remember him getting a chicken at his office in our home.
