http://glennagurley.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Glenn A. Gurley. Saturday, November 24, 2007. It is time for me to write a little more about how life was back in the early 1930's. In 1931 I was two years old. I believe you know it is hard to remember things when you are that age, so I will just have to make my best guess at what I was doing at this time in my life. Like most kids my age I pitched a fit and cried. That event on December 25, 1931 was the end of the first Christmas that I remembered. Listen as I tell this story. Life in the Early 1900's.

He enjoyed the wrapping paper, ribbon, and bows more than anything else. The winter passed quickly and soon spring came. It was May and the days...
