Click on the picture and enjoy the chicken in the background. One also can see the photographer and friend is in the picture by checking out the shadow.
Dwight, Rex, the border collie, and Ron
This photo is out on the rented farm in 1949 or 50. I was born in 1950 and I think Dwight looks almost three here so I could have been born by then. Stories I have heard from the family about the dog, was that he was so protective of his family and no one else was welcomed on the property.
Today Ron owns a printing company in Mesa, Arizona and Rex co-owns with two partners a company that make trailers for recreation vehicles in California. Dwight started his working life as a construction worker, working as a contractor for companies in Mesa, Arizona. As his addictions continued in his life he demoted himself to being a drywall installer and then a part time carpenter. He had to start living with my parents back in Osceola, Iowa in his later years. My father died in 2000, age 82 and my mom passed away in 2008, age 89 years, three months after then my brother Dwight died. He was 61 years old.
