Raised and farming in central MN. Proudest part of my life , and no disrespect to my one marvelous wife of 40 years, was serving this Country as an Army Green Beret, as a Demolition Sgt on an A-team, Stateside and overseas. She always says, "I"m glad I did not know you then". After I got my Animal Science degree, she was already teaching, we got married, started dairy/hog/crop farming from scratch with no family help/inherited (home farm was sold when I enlisted in "64) in "72, built it up to 450 owned acres, plus rented ground, maxed out at 730 acres in the 80s. Still own 400, rent most out, farm some. Play with 18 hobby tractors. We"ve been blessed with 3 daughters and 3 sons, all productive citizens. All daughters were Honor graduates in High School, one a valedictorian. Youngest daughter, who I thought would be the second valedictorian, is a Stanford University graduate, currently serving as a paratrooper at Ft. Bragg, NC, in a Psychological Operations unit, wanting to be- in her words- "just like Dad". Nearing the end of her Arabic language training at the JFK Special Warfare Center- where I was in 1965. Other kids are two trained JD mechanics, one construction worker, one doctor"s patient coordinator, one Target buyer.
