The Life of a Hitch-Hiker

I Glenn L. Smith: The years go by, time waits for no one, and I learned. From my start, Born on a Farm one could always find something to do. A very high Fever caused me to be Labeled as Retarded, and it took many years to outgrow that. Then the Beating's I received left permanent Bone Damage, 7 Areas. Those all show on C-TScan, they were bad. I was Driving a Motel T Ford by age 8, a Farmall Tractor by age 9, and the list goes on. I collapsed from heat at 11, and Rheumatic Fever at 14. I was Loading a Bundle Rack by age 12, Life was not easy for me. When I turned 18, and knew they could not send the Sheriff, I packed my Clothes and was on the Road. At 18 I took an Air-Force Test, my IQ was 142, Heart Damage, I Failed. Hitch-Hiking around, working in Cafe's, Driving Big Rigs, seeing the World. That life was not easy, but you became Educated Fast. I could do most anything, and never said no to any problem. Combining Wheat and Flax when you worked 12 to 15 hours a day, I had to learn to Pace myself, I had Heart Problems, so know your limit. I met and Married a Lovely Lady, we had four Children, that was what we both wanted, and they are all wonderful to their parents, I thank GOD. I was able to become a Design Engineer, and my proudest Achievement was the Inboard-Motor-Boat-Drive, that has Covered all of the world. When I look back and remember the Label, and the fact that I could do so much, and produce a wonderful Life, I can only Say; THANK YOU LORD.
