  11. There’s not enough time for me to write everything down that I have learned from my grandfather. His life in a very small nutshell….Grew up with no father….started helping out with what jobs an 8 year could do and then by 11 he was working as much as he could. Put himself thru Lamar…when on to become one of the top guys for gulf oil. Went over to Korea and oversaw from “ground up” building of a refinery. Earned a black belt while time spent there. Retired from gulf when chevron took over…then later went back to work for chevron for a short time. Master carpenter as well, but could do it all from plumbing and electrical. Him and my Dad built the two story house I grew up in with their own two hands as well as a two story barn. He learned to depend on himself and his God giving ability no matter the circumstances from an early age….the silent generation was produced by the greatest generation and to me there is not much difference. My great grandfather on my dad s side was in WW1. Lived to be 94…him and my great grandmother got married at 15 and 16 and went on to have 14 kids. We went to there house a many Sundays growing up and were able to listen to his life stories. i didn’t live thru the Great Depression obviously but I was able to see the people it produced these people were in and around my life quite often not just holidays like some people. We took the time to sit still and listen to what they had to say and learn from them. there a a very small percentage of those people left and even a smaller % of those type of people produced in this day in age. like you said I absorbed as much as I could….most of it stuck and some didn’t.
  12. 94…..and still washing his paper plates yall forget the “LIFE lesson” that came from it. And the type of people it produced.
