If Grandpa Jim did just some things right in the real estate biz in NW Arkansas during that time period, he should easily be in the nine figure fortune territory by now.
Growing up, I remember quite a few of my classmates being involved in athletics year round:
Football in the fall
Basketball, hockey, or wrestling in the winter
Baseball, track or golf in the spring
Perhaps that's changed since 40 years ago.
Looks like my HS, Albert Lea, might actually have a decent team this year. Curb stomped rival Austin 65-0. I can't remember the last time they beat a team that badly.
Go Tigers.
