Same here. My g-grandfathers family in TN made moonshine and hung out with Jesse James apparently.
@Free Vulcan People are people,and we all do what we have to do to make it in this world.
My grandfather came from a wealthy farming family,and they disowned him for marrying an Indian.
Since he was cut off from the family fortune,he did what he thought was best to provide for his wife and children,and the easy money,and truthfully the ONLY money,to be made in the 30's was illegal money,so he went into the importing business.
I neither blame him for this or am proud of it. He was just doing what we all do,trying to make the best life he could make for his family. Chances are if I were in the same situation,I would do the same,or maybe even worse. Truthfully,I have a hard time thinking of anything I WOULDN'T do if I had a house full of hungry children and no money coming in to support them.
