Sullivan Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:58:19 +0000 http://meandthecat.com/blog/?page_id=35#comment-142 I was born in 1926, and lived in the depression ers. My great niece's school class is studying the great depression era in history. I have been asked to give a 30 minute presentation to her class, this coming Friday, on my recollection of that era. My father was an iceman who delivered ice and coal to homes in the 30's. I remember it well and would like to have some props to keep the attention of the 11 year olds. Do you have a picture of an old icebox and the ice sign that went in the window. If you have them, would you be kind enough to help me out, and eMail me whatever you may have and are willing to share? Unfortunately, any of these items from my father's business are long gone. Will appreciate it very much. Thanks. Grace M. Sullivan, St. Charles, Missouri USA I was born in 1926, and lived in the depression ers.
