Getting to Know Everyone

After making a good business deal, Bill decided to go on and drive home. Even though it was late and a long trip home, Bill couldn’t wait to get home to share the happy news with his family. While driving into the night and after hours on the road, Bill was starting to get tired. Finally, the radio began to play some good tunes. Still, the long, dark two-lane highway seemed like it would never end. The thought of getting home to his family was what was keeping Bill focused. It appeared to be one of those strange nights. You know, the night driving through patches of fog every so often—not hot but not cold, a good, even temperature. The road was long and narrow with deep darkness. It’s almost like driving through a tunnel.

Even though Bill got a good bonus after the job was over, he always thought it would have been nice to go and work for that company. Wouldn’t you know, they only needed someone for that job. Bill usually worked the jobs that no one else wanted to do, like digging ditches, mowing lawns, cleaning out last year’s sour wheat bins, and working with farmers fixing fences and tending to their cattle. Working on a backhoe always reminded Bill of his dad, grandpa, and uncle John; they were plumbers. When Bill was a young boy, he got to go to work with them often, sometimes even got to drive the backhoe to jobs in town.

When Bill was eight years old, Jeff Sr. and Sherry, Bill’s parents, got a divorce. They had three children: Jeff Jr., Bill, and Wiley. About a year or so later, Bill’s mom, Sherry, got remarried to a man named Doug. Bill’s dad, Jeff Sr., also got remarried to a lady named
