My life as a country boy from the Appalachia area, Alley Valley, Scott County, Virginia, through World War II, to going to school and owning a successful Business, being an Entrepreneur/Inventor, to owning and showing a Tennessee Championship Winning Horse through Retirement and attending an Honor Flight for Veterans.“You have to do what you have to do, and you have to do it with honor. If it means giving up your life – hey, it’s what you got to do. For many in my generation, it meant they didn’t get to come home from the war.”
