Notizen zu dieser Person

My father was the smallest man in our family, but what he lacked in stature he made up for in determination and his use of logic. He had an imaginative and creative mind. He loved to make and fix things. He was a hard taskmaster. He was boss of the family but not without love, which he chose to hide. At times this was hard to understand, especially when he denied us a small amount of spending money when we went to town, or the use of the family automobile to go to a dance when we were alittle older. These were privileges most neighbor boys had. He was progressive in his farming practices, and often almost ahead of his time. Later, when he lent money to his sons to start farming, he insisted that they pay him back, with interest, on the date due. Among his peers he was respected for his business and social opinions, and served as township officer, Co-op director, and bank director...

I was always grateful for having such a wonderful, loving mother, but it wasn't until I was fifty years old that I was grateful for the kind of father I had. It was then that I realized how much he loved me. While he perhaps over disciplined us,I now can appreciate the value of that discipline.
