I had a dad born in 1902 who, as a young man, left his native state of Tennessee (probably one step ahead of the revenuers,) and who got kicked out of school in the second grade for chewing tobacco and spitting on the floor.

He was not only the smartest man I ever knew, he was the biggest. He was a master blacksmith who during the great depression of the nineteen twenties made his money shoeing race horses. He even shoed the greatest of them all at one time, the great Seabiskcuit, who beat them all.

Me, I was born in 1935 to a beautiful woman who was all of four feet four inches tall. She was in show business at the time she married dad and gave it up to be a mother.

We were back in Tennessee to build the first atomic bomb plant around 1940 or so when I started to school. And since I played hooky every single day of the school year, (the valley the plant was built in was surrounded by mountains and creeks full of fish) I could see the school and knew when to go home and get supper. When mom took me to school to watch me graduate to the second grade, she was devastated when the teacher told her she had never seen me before. Let it be said that I never ever played hooky again.

She danged near pulled my ear off marching me back home to receive just punishment.

Well, I got somewhat educated during the years that followed, and served twenty years in the military. (By the way, that gold is still in Vietnam, I saw it.) But you’ll have to read `The Directive` to find out more.
