Ol'Gramps,Bless his Soul,told me all about the Crash and the depression.

Initially it seemed a good joke on the speculative rich,took a year or 2 before the extent finally "trickled down".....and affected most everyone.

My Gramps always told me that in 1928 he was having his shoes shined in Alexandria,the shoeshine boy was telling him about some Motion Picture stocks he bought for 25cents on the dollar......So Gramps said,"when I start to hear financial advice from a Goddam shoeblack,it's time to get out of the market"And a good thing he did.
