I'm trying to better understand the giving patterns from that specific period - whether or not they align with more recent trends - from the perspective of whether or not those patterns will shed any insight on what we will experience in 2009-10-11.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Bernholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253941214286179394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-6870179139751894182009-01-13T07:07:00.000-08:002009-01-13T07:07:00.000-08:00We don't even have to go as far back as the Great ...We don't even have to go as far back as the Great Depression to see that trend.
