His father was a poor Greek immigrant, a goatherd who later ran a shoeshine shop in Galveston, Texas.

His father was a goatherd? Really?

A goat herder perhaps?

Apparently also the goats ran the shoeshine shop. That is one special goatherd.

I knew a Greek Immigrant named Erinakes, a geologist from Rhode Island, who helped to develop the Barnett Shale for oil and gas in the Fort Worth area. A guy named “George Mitchell” hardly seems to be a Greek name, maybe Irish, though
