What Makes A Man A Hero
Another week's installment of Man-day.This is my grandfather, Ward Harold Jensen:
He farmed, because you either farmed or worked in the Redmond Salt Mines. He married his sweetheart, a schoolteacher named Thelma Stark, and they continued to live in Redmond. He never grew rich, never grew famous, never succeeded in any of the ways that many today might consider true success. That tractor in the background could possibly qualify as his most extravagant material possession.
But what he did do, and what history may never note, is what makes him great.
