Answer 1

My name is Donald, I grew up as an only child during the era of the Great Depression. Before me I had two brothers, Charles and Adrian who died before I was born. My father worked as a furniture maker before the Depression. Yet, due to rough times he was forced to work for a company that built screens for homes when the Depression began. He supported my mother and me as well as several other family members.
