About Bob
th
th
“Somewhere about the time I was in the 4 or 5 grades, one afternoon Bob came into the house and asked
Mom if I could help him sell his newspapers. Naturally, I was all for it. But Mother had some advice for me.
She said if you get out there now and make a few cents you will always be looking to make more and always
working. She was so right!! But I did continue my schooling.

Bob went on and worked God only knows how many different jobs. I know he worked for Andrew Jergen

Co., Lunkenhimer (foundry) Co., Valvoline Oil, Ford Motor Co, Philip Carrie‐John Mansfield Co., U.S. Army in
Korea. Then General Electric Co. Jet Engine. Then he quit and went back to Kentucky where he worked
several businesses he started, and then worked for some Particleboard company.” Bill Davidson, an excerpt
from his memoires written when he was 70‐1/2 years old in 2003
