Great Great grandfather had the opportunity to buy half of Boulder Colorado. Decided instead to invest in that stock market thing, it's never lost. Invested everything in early October of 1929.

Fucked my whole family up. My grandfather abandoned my grandmother and all his children because he needed to be rich to get his father's respect.
