A lot of people were struggling to make it. My father would tell me stories of how his family starved many nights because there wasn't enough food on the table. He wasn't just telling stories to scare kids, this was his real life situation. His father was an alcoholic, who'd be gone for weeks then beat his wife when he'd come home. A classic story for the times too.

So his family was starving because his alcoholic father spent the food money on booze? How exactly does that refute his statement? By your own admission your granddaddy's family was struggling because he was a bum, not because the time period was hard.

I bought a BMW M3 as my first vehicle.
