The answer is quite simple. I was raised on a dairy farm. I was born in Louisville, Ohio, and spent my early years on the family farm which my grandfather purchased in 1943. The previous owner built the barn and home from the trees he removed from the land. It had the largest barn in the county and the house provided its own electricity. The first farmhouse west of the Alleghanies to have electricity.
You can read about the farm on my Memoirs blog.
When I was around 13, we moved, cows and all, to Cambria Wisconsin.
The move took months. I accompanied my dad on one trip to haul a corn bin those 600 miles. I was to be the co-pilot. You’ll never believe the trip we had.
