Follow this Ozark Lad as he retells his life as a boy and going off to War. Growing up in Benton County, Times were hard and got worse during the drought of 1934. Learning in a one-room schoolhouse where one teacher taught all eight grades, raising everything they ate as a family, and facing many hardships, learn from Glen as he retells his life story. Reflect upon the day when Glen would be drafted into the war. He was assigned to Guadalcanal as the 96th Chemical Warfare Company and that we would be the chemical depot where all the chemicals and ammunition and lots of other supplies would come through. From there they would be sent to the front lines. He was left on the island after the war to clean up the whole island. He had to survive much like the native people looking for food and water. He spent most of his life working as a carpenter and farming. The family spent a few years raising turkeys, hogs, cattle, and there were always horses to ride. He and his wife Claudine raised their four children on a farm in Benton County not far from the homestead farm and strived to serve The Lord in all things.
