BY STEVE SALT A tough year, stressful, full of fear and doubt. This is one person’s story , a deliberate response to all the uncertainty of the times… A regular Joe was driving home to see his family after a hard day. He comes upon a beat-up, broken-down car along the side of the road. This average guy, named Jim, doesn't hesitate to stop and see what help he can give to the stranger standing nearby. The year was 1929. Life was difficult and the Great Depression was just underway. It was a desperate time when the daily grind for many revolved around one thing: looking for a way to stay alive. It was also a time, interestingly enough, when generosity abounded. Love and its manifestations of giving, kindness, and compassion have long marked the best of human nature. Whatever impels someone to give of himself even when he has little to offer has pulled many individuals through difficult times.
