My daddy was the foreman of a big farm in East Texas near Ola, in Kaufman County. It was 6000 acres, but we still called it a farm. Nowadays it can be a quarter acre and they’ll try to call it a ranch. Daddy would take the whole family to the State Fair of Texas in October for a week, even though school was on. He would set up a booth selling last minute insurance policies to the bronc and bull riders in the State Fair Rodeo. You couldn’t hardly sell insurance to a barrel rider and the clowns already had it.
