   Mom & Dad were dust bowl/depression kids in OK, but they never talked about it much. I just got around to watching Ken Burns film - references to the worst environmental/economic disaster in history, caused by greed. Black blizzards, dust pneumonia, mass homelessness. I think a lot of people have little comprehension of history & how bad things can get. CW for the full nearly 4 hr series - it's graphic.
