I grew up in Clinton Missouri milking cows and slopping hogs We wouldn’t have an indoor bathroom as well So part of my responsibilities also was taking out the chamber pot I had a mother and father that were caring that were committed to that next generation First entrepreneur I ever saw out of necessity was my father He had a janitorial service He had a trash route In 1957 was going into the first grade Kloop Klaan said we’re not going to integrate these schools We’re going to do everything we possibly can to keep this from happening in Clinton Missouri So my dad would show the town all night to ensure his five kids go to school safely I went to the University of Central Missouri During the summer months I would come to St Louis stay with my older brother and work in the rail yards As a trackman
