I don't know. I was a different man back when I was raising my children. And back as a young man, I was wound really tight. What do you mean when you say that? I had a bad temper and I was under a lot of stress for a lot of years. And so I wasn't the calm laid back, easy going fellow that, you know, people see today.

And so I think in my children are all grown and I think, you know, in a lot of ways, they're still sitting back trying to, trying to, uh, compare the old me with the new me that, you know, it's only been about five years that I found the, the place where I could just get some self-control and learn how to chill and, and, uh, get a handle on things, you know?

So I think in a lot of ways, my family are just, they're just sitting back watching and trying to justify the one, what they see now with what they knew for so many years.

I was newly married and we had a baby. It was just an infant and I was working. We were in little town called Alpine, Tennessee. And there was a Burke line furniture factory there that made recliners. And I was working in the shipping and, uh, was not happy. Uh, didn't like the job. What age are you here? Oh, I was, 26.

Um, and, uh, it was reading Western horsemen and there was a ad in the back and the classifieds about an elk hunting lodge in Idaho that was offering, you could come out and if you would work for the summer for free, they would teach you packing. And, uh, and I just, I said, you know what? I'm going to do it. I'm doing it. I'm taking the jump.

I'm not spending the rest of my life working in a factory and sitting here and doing this. I'm going to go chase, The dream that I've had since I was a child. And so my wife and our infant, she flew to Hawaii to stay with her dad. And I sold everything we had, which wasn't much. And I got a saddle and my gear and took a Greyhound bus up into Idaho.

And then wasn't nobody there to pick me up that was supposed to pick me up. So I hitchhiked. from there into chalice, Idaho. And this was way before cell phone. So I found a pay phone and I called the ranch and the manager of the ranch says, I, I, I don't know who you are. I never heard anything about you. Uh, the owner is rafting the Colorado river to the grand Canyon with his girlfriend.

And he never told me you were coming. And, uh, but he came and picked me up and I stayed on there for the summer and, and I learned a bunch. And then, um, I left there and hitchhiked from Chalice, Idaho to Cody, Wyoming. And when I got to Cody, I had like nine dollars. And so I found a campground where they'd let me pitch my little one man pup tent. Six dollars a night.
