Danville seniors offer students living history lessons
DANVILLE – Some Danville High School students got a unique history lesson on Tuesday – hearing personal stories about the Great Depression and World War II from local residents who experienced them.
"I didn't realize, as a kid, we were in a depression," said Martha White, a resident of the Liberty Estates independent living center in Danville. "I was a poor person. But all of my friends were in the same boat. I think we accepted ... that was the way it was."
