in the country and worked the farms in his neighborhood and in the stores in the town of Brookville until he went to California in 1945. After becoming a teacher in 1951 and while teaching in the schools, he would write poems for his class and also for the school breakfasts the teachers had each year. Later he went on mission trips with a group of men for World Gospel Mission and would write a poem for each project they went on.view less
