Memories of this time

'Your program on "Dust Bowl" is very interesting.  Since I was raised on a farm 600 miles to east of Boise City, on Missouri, Kansas border.  When I would arrive home from school about 4 pm (walking the one and half mile), Mother would tell me "get the bucket and go gather the eggs." The dust was so thick and dark, the chicken are already o the roost.  We never saw the sun set on those days!!'
