My Dad was born in Marietta, South Carolina in 1898. At 12 years, he attended the first Christian school I ever heard of. Five Points Christian academy, still standing and still operating. It was a work program to pay your education. I guess he was not a good farmer, so he came to Detroit to build Model T's for good money. He purchased house here and down south for my older brother, too. Only regret I have is not knowing him too well since Ford liked him on the afternoon shift. But when you needed help, he was there. His favorite saying was "You need to learn to use your head for something besides a hat rack" was true. He would deliver groceries and clothes to many in need without any questions. He gave Ford 40 years, lived 6 more and died. He could sell anything to anybody and weekends found him driving one car, pulling another south, returning by bus, car, train or? His prediction for me was Ford trade school for electrician. He was right but I didn/t figure it out and attend until the age of 26. It worked out fine and I wish he would have been here to know about it. Love everyone while you can!
