My paternal grandfather was orphaned and was sent to a logging camp in the "North Woods" when he was seven where he learned to drive oxen, chew tobacco, smoke cigars, fight whith logging chains, swear, drink whiskey, chop, saw, eat big meals, and, oh yes, they had a schoolhouse where he learned the three Rs. He could figure rather complex interest rates, feed rations, cattle prices, etc., in his head, in fact, kept most of what people store in computers nowadays in his head. He was an absolute gentleman around ladies and farmed well into his 90s. Driving tractors as well as horses. He was an accomplished violinist as well. Didn't stop chewing tobacco and drinking whiskey until just before he died. He told me about the first cigar he smoked at the age of about 8. He got so sick he had to go out in the woods and hide behind a stack of logs so no one would find out and make fun of him. Hope you all have a nice day. Bill(Wis)
