I was raised on a family farm in western Minnesota. So I didn't have the background to prepare me for this business life.

My family is Native American, and I was raised with Native American ceremonies.

I have spent my life reassembling the family farm.

Well, I was born in El Paso, Texas, it was in the nearest hospital to the family farm.

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

I've lived the American dream. I was born and raised on the farm, first in my family to graduate from college. I spent 13 years working in our family business.
