If you remember, last week we left off with:
"The most interesting members are yet to come."
----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
And now, lets continue:
The oldest child was Peggy. Peggy read books. No matter what else was going on around her she had her nose close to a book closing out the rest of the entire world.
Peggy never helped Millie with any chores, or the children, or anything. Maybe this is what Millie should have done so the parents would have been forced to do more of their parental duties.
Peggy was also a very selfish person. It was almost impossible to make friends with her. Later in life, I believe in 1989, I flew from Ohio to Montana where Millie and Peggy's mother Mary, and most of the family were living for Mary's funeral. The main reason I attended was to be a friend to Millie.
Peggy by this time had married another very selfish man and at the wake they hunted me down. Having heard through the family that I had become wealthy they were deviously trying to present in their opinion a pulchritudinous plan of how they could use $50,000 of my money. This was the first interest Peggy would have ever showed in me.
The mother was Mary. Mary seemed to be a very kind and generous women, but I could never take that as my opinion of her because of the way Millie was forced to be her slave. Mary was the largest woman I had ever seen.
Laramie was the father. He was a real clown always laughing and making jokes. Laramie was a short man and his head had a very sharp point. I think that I was told he was born at home and his head was squeezed to hard during the birth.
Laramie bragged about how he could break boards over his head. He had quite a string of experiences never having stayed with any job or enterprise very long. This was one reason he had landed at our house with no money or job. Laramie had many vices including gambling and chasing women which would lead him to leaving his family unattended or supported many times for days and months at a time.
But Laramie did have an entrepreneurial gift inside of him. He just never disciplined himself to take full advantage of it.
I think the family stayed with us about 2 weeks before Laramie found a home for them. Laramie had started walking around town getting contracts for janitorial work and rented a very large house with an office and an outside exit for his business. In no time at all Laramie and his family were living better than our family was and making a lot more money.
That part amazed me. That may be where I first got the janitorial or cleaning bug. There are so many people with talent like this that with some persistence, consistence, self discipline, planning, structure, and big thinking could easily become multi-millionaires.
Yes Laramie had done the amazing. But then he did the unthinkable.
