Even as a preschooler, he would make his Green River neighborhood rounds to chat and enjoy snacks from his friends. At age 5 when the local ward was being built, he understood himself to be the chief assistant construction manager. He fancied himself the supervisor of many projects as a young boy, including “working on the railroad”, and his love for the railroad lasted his lifetime.
