There was a store/service station about 2 miles from our house when I was a kid. They also had about a dozen cabins- believe they called them "auto parks" back then. Cabins rented out by the night, but the furthest one from the store had an old man who lived in it, from as far back as I could remember. He was crippled- WWI, I think- one leg was shorter than the other, and was really bowed badly. He helped out around the place as best he could, and they let him live in the cabin for free. Very nice old guy- always had some candy for us kids and would help us air up the tires on our bikes. It was a Greyhound bus stop, so he rode the Greyhound the 10 miles to town when he needed to. It had about the cleanest restrooms you'd ever see at a place like that- he was proud of that.
Some new people bought the place, and we wondered if they would kick him out. But apparently they bought with the understanding that he came with the place. Store burned down in '61, and I don't know what ever happened to him.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
