A Snapshot in Time

It was just a faded snapshot, a long-forgotten picture of a grandfather and his three sons, leaning on their vintage car in front of the family's farmhouse. It must have been about 1933 or 1934.
They are all gone now, a part of "the greatest generation," as it has been called. As you study the snapshot made so long ago with a simple box camera, you can see the family resemblance to these men who worked the fields as truck farmers in a time before freeways and refrigeration. The car, the house, and the clothing were stark reminders of an age gone by.

These men probably thought the conditions and the way of life would last. But, it didn't.
