I knew him very well. He was born in 1900. He came much later. He was selling off their bankrupt little cattle ranch. And he came and they didn't have money to use the... She came on the train and then... They went broke when they got here. They bought a house. They all went broke. The weird thing about it is that family was all very successful.

The guy that I told you who moved here became very, very successful. He was deaf, too. And he figured out the most brilliant for a person who was completely broke. He got a concession from the local sewer plant that put gray water, not sewage, onto alfalfa. He rented the alfalfa from a person. She said, it's not level. It won't irrigate. What do I do? And he said, if you, she had 400 acres.

He said, if you level the 400, you can have 200 acres. So he did it himself, and then he got the gray water. He said, I will charge you a nominal fee to put the gray water on my 200 level acres, and I'll grow alfalfa. In those days, you could do that. The alfalfa grew very quickly, and then he went every... A few months to Montana, and we had this big cattle truck.

And he brought the cattle back, put them there, and he deliberately picked that place because it was two miles from the feedlot, so he would get a cattle drive for two miles. So he explained it when he was about – he died at 98. He explained it to me. that there was no way to lose money.
