My granddaddy was Man of the Year for Agriculture in 1950 for the whole county. He blended the socialism from his parents with capitalism.

He could have owned the thing outright. But he didn't. He went door to door and sold shares so the community could share in the bank and own a part of it.

We could have sold that property and made a lot of money, selling it to some distribution center that would just mean a lot of trucks going in and out.

We are a community-minded family. We were raised to give back.

Socialism is simply Communism for people without the testosterone to man the barricades

We grew up together, and he's an outstanding man and a jack of all trades. He lays tile, but he can do just about anything.
