In these tough economical times it has been a popular assessment to try to compare this recession to the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 led the way and by the time dust storms had turned the Farm Belt into the Dust Bowl hundreds of thousands of Americans were hungry, homeless, and barely alive. At the end of it all was a war that no one wanted, but everyone was willing to fight. Hitler and his Germans to the east and The Japanese Imperial Army to the west gave Americans a common theme that brought them together to bring this nation from the depths of poverty to the greatest nation on earth. Gone But Not Forgotten is a true story about a man who lived through it all. The starvation and destitute of living with an alcoholic father in The Depression; the terror and inhumane conditions of World War II; the battles with alcohol and malaria that sent his world spiraling out of control; and finally finding peace and salvation through his creator. To live through all of this and still be able to relive these stories at eighty-nine is not only a blessing but is also a miracle. When I first began writing this story I asked my dad if this is going to be a religious book. Before he could answer I realized that any book about my father would have to be a religious book.
