The Amazing Rags to Riches story of my 2 brothers and a nephew:
Joe, Roscoe and Steve!
These guys have a God given talent to turn their lives into something special! They all knew how to work very hard and how to make money!
Joe took to liking motorcycles and cars at a very young age. He bought them and later resold them making a nice profit, always getting more than what he paid for them. He was always good about saving his money. He liked people and they liked him. He really has a gift of gab. Talking and wheeling and dealing was his gift to his fame and riches. Everyone in Vincennes Indiana knows these guys! Back in Joe's youth one day his so called friends went to the movies and as they left the theater one of the boys said "lets steal these bikes so we don't have to
walk home." planning to drop them off somewhere near by their homes. Joe said he couldn't do it! He said he cared too much what people thought of him , didn't want to steal and he went home alone by himself walking.
My other brotherRoscoe unfortunately dropped out of school at around 5th grade and never learned to read or write. How this happened no one seems to even know?
He started helping someone in the tree trimming business and went on to one day owning his own business, becoming the #1 tree trimming company in the historical town of Vincennes, IN. Everyone in town knows him also. Vincennes even has a moument of a famous Native American Indian that Rosco himself cut the log and supplied to the City. You would never know he was close to being a millionare.
Steve, Roscoe's son, took over his dads tree business as Roscoe is now in his early nineties. Steve helped contribute to his weath with his many talents. He hand built a cabin from the ground up and can take any old junk car and refurbish it making it look brand new, and then sell it for thousands. He said he hung out in grandpa Todd's junkyard and was a very hard worker at a early age. A God given talent that has made him rich and he still loves his dad for teaching him at a early age how to work hard. He still picks up his dad in the morning and they carpool to work together. Roscoe even wears his hard hat and picks up limbs off the ground. That business was Roscoe's life and he doesn't want to stop working, even today. Steve owes everything to his dad who made it all possible that he wants for nothing today. My brother Roscoe could not read or write yet he made it to the top of his profession! His son had no blueprint to build a cabin and lake on his property that he shares with his dad but he made it happen. Steve said his teacher once told him "you will never amount to anything." He went on to prove her wrong!
will put a picture of the three here soon.
