[QUOTE="Jeff aka BOLT, post: 117832, member: 184"] Yep.. in this small town he was quite the entrepreneur. If the story I am told is correct... he was a retired engineer. He believed in this farming and Christian community strongly. He bought land at the main corner of town... built a full service old school grocery and one of the best hardware departments anywhere. Added to that he built a small strip mall next to the store that has a bank, ladies hair dresser and a few other local businesses. They have a huge outer gravel lot for truckers and OHVers to park and rest. And he and his family have been very involved in all things community related from holiday celebrations, parades, schools, town clean ups, town hall meetings, etc etc. He wrote a fun and intelligent half page newspaper on the back of the stores ad page every week that I really enjoyed reading since moving here. Really helped me get to know my community this first year here. Neat old guy. [/QUOTE]
