1 /5 S J: We lived there, in Bastrop, 50 years ago. The town was doing good, we were starving and came from an abusive domestic situation which was horrible. The people of Bastrop treated us just as bad as from what we were running away from. We had very little food and my mother had too much pride for food stamps. I was very young and my brother and I went down to the church and asked if they had some food. Two of the mean old church women followed us back down about a block and questioned our mom. No, they didnt give us any handouts or even a morsel of a food offering, other than to let us know that we were welcomed for Sunday Services. Well, now we are millionaires and Bastrop, LA is getting their Karma.
