Men As Role Models - Garold Ray Swartz
(July 6, 1915 - September 25, 2006):
From the article: "Dad was the bread winner in our family, he was never afraid of hard work which was a very good thing because in our part of the world there weren’t any jobs that didn’t require diligent effort to make a weeks pay. Dad’s first job, after his marriage to Mom, was a farmhand for Jim Rogers a man that had a farm and money but no farm experience. Jim was a West Point graduate and had served as an officer in the U.S. Army but didn’t know how to farm so he hired Dad to fill in his gap, which Dad did very well, by drawing on his experience working on farms as he grew up."
