Thank You!
This is the first of the 2nd batch of articles I’m transferring from March! Writing doesn’t always have a measuring stick to tell you if you’re on the right track.

1932
The Great Depression was the era Freddy was born into. I am apparently grouped into the millennial generation. The absolute dichotomy between these two generations is immeasurable. He was the fourth child in his family. There was Maxine and Ralph and maybe a couple years difference between them. Then a decade came and went. Ralph…
