They were both just good ole down home country people from rual Alabama. Both grew up on farms, working in the fields and wood mill with their parents in between school hours. I am grateful everyday that they cared, and made us do right, learn, listen, and make a life for ourselves, instead of leaving us alone while they hit the bars together like they do now.
Yes.
It's parents like yours who teach the next generation and so on.
It's a gift to their country.
My parents raised seven boys and all turned out to be upstanding citizens. Mom had and eighth grade education and Dad high school. They worked like dogs seven days a week to raise us boys in their little Arkansas town. I had two and don't know how they did it.
