I may or may not know anything about the box found in the pasture unopened with all flies inside. That box later taken to San Antonio where it was stuck thru the front door mail slot at The Mean Lady's house and opened.
My grandfather told me this story:
When he was a young boy( early 1930s depression), they lived in a very rural area south of San Antonio.
One day his mother saw a plane flying over and something fell out of the plane. She had heard the government was dropping boxes of food for people struggling to find something to eat. She rushed to get the box thinking it was food. She reached down to pick it up and it busted open and she was covered in sterile screwworm flies. She was fit to be tied from the flies and thoroughly disappointed it was not food.
My grandfather was the oldest of 9 surviving siblings. His mom lost two sets of twins and a girl at the beginning of the depression.
