When my neighbor, Bob, shared his weathered hands across the fence line, I shook hands with living history—a man whose eyes had witnessed the ravages of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic when three of his brothers died while he survived a 106-degree fever. He felt the economic stranglehold of the Smoot-Hawley tariffs, endured the desperate years of the Great Depression, and survived the global chaos of both World Wars.
