Crohn's misery stole writing energy this year, so I enjoyed so many terrific books!

Christmas 1926 near Dexter, Iowa. The Wilson family would have only a couple more Christmases where the youngsters would receive toys, before jobs dried up and so did their cow.

Doris (became my mother), Danny, Dale and Darlene (in striped tops) with Donald behind, Junior, and Delbert.

Delbert and Donald Wilson joined the Navy during the Depression to help feed five siblings still at home in Iowa. They served on the USS Chicago (CA-29). Story in the most popular of the Leora books, Leora's Dexter Stories.

My favorite for decades! Ronald Reagan was a sports announcer on WHO-Radio during the 1930s, even before he became an actor.
