Commander Raymond B. Allen, USN (ret.)
is the author of Please Don’t Cry. The MOAA said of the book, “Life
in the backwoods of southern Indiana in the 1920s and 1930s during the Great Depression was difficult. The death of a family’s
father in 1939 and the subsequent sending of his wife to a tuberculosis sanatorium would force this mother to send her two
boys as foster children and farm hands to people she had never met. The book gives a vivid picture of the lives of poor farm
people during the Great Depression and how they survived.”
