Herb I fear we are going to see a live replay without the dust.

I thought Sundays two hour presentation was a typical Ken Burns program; 
very informative and probably very accurate.  Tonite will be the last two 
hours of this two part series.  The Atlanta PBS station immediately reran 
the show so we were able to catch some details that we missed during the 
initial two hour viewing.

Here is link to Ken Burns’ Nov 18 & 19 program about the Dust Bowl:

This is in addition to the depression of the 1930’s.  So many farms in our 
central KS area were lost that one

banker took his own life. I started driving tractor in early 1940’s and can 
remember several places where sand

had blown, creating large low spots, and down wind of these low spots were 
significant hills (deposits of sand).
