FDR
President elect Barack Obama, in his youthful ignorance, probably induced by one or more college professors, has on more than one occasion spoken of changing the direction of our country the way FDR did. If so, we are doomed!
Linden well remembers, as an 8 year old, several aspects of the miserable year 1938. Let’s see, yes, that would have been the sixth year of Roosevelt’s presidency. Unemployment stood at 19% - about 3 times what it is currently and 5 points worse than it had been the preceding year.
Linden’s father worked not one day that year and our total family income was provided by the small amount earned by mother and two older sisters. It was 3 more long years before WW II saved us from the Roosevelt depression.
Please Mr. Obama, continue your education.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Joe Taylor returned the second repaired recliner and took the office chair to repair. Had a very nice lunch at Panera Bread with Jan and Peggy. Went to the grocery, post office and gas station. The gas cap cover was frozen and in attempting to free it with my credit card I cracked the card. Had a wonderful Christmas get-together dinner and white elephant gift exchange at the LaRoche’s. There were 11 of us present. Roads were really slick all evening.

GIFT GIVING?
Any of Linden’s six books or his first CD could be what you are looking for: They are inexpensive and not everybody has one.
The CD “Songs A Poor Old Police Department Retiree Might Write While Waiting For His Meager Pension Check” features Linden’s original compositions. The book subject matter ranges from political through poetry, baseball, prayer, cryptograms and Linden’s pilgrimage in Spain at age 75.
