Father owned a sporting goods store in downtown. Hunting fishing and archery goods. Dad taught me his work ethic and how to think, figure things out and how to work with my hands. The bank president would bring his sack lunch and eat lunch with my Dad most days. Everyone knew everyone and other parents were not afraid to swat your bottom if you messed up and your parents knew about it before you could get home. Not enough kids growing up in that atmosphere anymore.

Grew up in a northwest Texas town with a thriving population of 1640 people. If any of us kids got out of line, any grownup could bust our butts. Same person would also make a phone call to home and we would have another butt busting waiting for us when we got back home from our "infraction". Most learned to walk the straight and narrow path of life. Others seemed to have learned how to become really sneaky.....
