I came back home still employed by Morris Hitchcock at Whiter Swan Lumber, working on the road crew and thenBob Turner took me to this road grader in Toppenish Creek and said Jerral I want you to take this to logy creek where a crew was working and I started the small motor and wondered why I did not have more power and stopped and found out it had two motors one to start and the other to have power and a lot more speed I ran the grader for several months and then started cocker setting and running a D7 Caterpillar skedding logs to a landing. Then a Faller of trees and finally asurveyor. The last two year Fred Web took over the logging operation and the crew boss did not like me, for he thought he was a Christian and  would swear and I asked him, “how can you swear like you do and think God likes it”? He shortly afterward put me to pilling brush with a D 6 Caterpillar and one morning I shut the cat off and was laying under a Pine Tree, just thinking and praying to God, when Fred Web pulled up in his White Chrysler and ask what I was doing and I shared with him, how the boss did not like me, so wanted me to start piling brush and I was disappointed. Fred Web said to me take as much time as you want and I took a little more time thanking the Lord for still having a job. For no one could not be working for Fred Web, for he wanted us to have our Chain Saw Sharped and ready to go to work at Sun Rise.  
I only took a Short time.  Soon after I was asked to work with the Team out of Naches, Skedding logs and then falling trees. 
One day while going to work late, having to drive up to Eagel Rock and I hit a horse with my Father-in-laws pickup and killed the Horse. I was able to continue driving the pickup and stop at the Restaurant on Chinook and told the owner the Williams, I killed one of their horses, he said, that is ok they should of not been on the road, I was so thankful. Then in 1965 my Father-in law Lew Meshke asked me to help him in his farming and the next year he would help me get my own farm, which He did. During this time My Wife Virginia was in the Saint Elisabeth in Yakima to have our fourth son. Along with her Father going in for eye surgery, for he only had one eye, as the other was damaged by an explosion in a garbage can and left him with a glass eye, so was having cataracts removed. Here I am coming to see how my wife was doing and was not paying attention and on Walnut Street in Yakima a train hit me and took me down the Tracks a little ways. The conductor came right over to me to see if I was ok and I felt bad as he said, it is our fault, for I should have had warned everyone a train was coming and I didn’t see it at all, for I was watching the hospitable. I thought I could stop by the Office of the train Company latter and they would pay for the damage. They said they are never at fault, so my insurance paid for the Damages. I was able to see our fourth Son Mike after he was born, for men did not enter the delivery room. All was well and we both rejoiced for having another son and Virginia’s Father did well as well.
I took my Father-in-Law request and the first year I worked for Him and the second, he co-signed my loan for 1966 and we raised our four boys on the 120 acre Farm. 
This was a blessed time, as we raised our boys in the ways of the Lord and trained them to read their Bible and represent the Kingdom of God. It was a joy as I was chosen to be the Christian Educational leader, to be able to be encouraging teachers in Sunday School, where Ginny and I were very involved and where with our teenager. I was the Youth leader in our home Church, what a thrill it was to see our boys accept the responsibility to follow the will of the Lord, being involved in sports, & Church activities. Our oldest Son Brian went one year to Northwest Bible College and became a Youth Pastor in Oakville, Wa and married Gayleen Wilson a Pastor Daughter in Centralia, WA. Dale our Second son graduated from the Northwest Bible College, in Seattle and married Cathie Holman from Bend Oregon. Then Rick our third Son graduated with honors and went to the University of Washington Graduating with an Engineering Degree. Then our fourth Son, Mike Graduated from Saint Martins in Olympia, WA with a teaching degree.
I was elected to serve on the White Swan School Board and found it very rewarding and challenging for we were the first District to have a girl wrestle with the Boys. I and Hamley Hale were against and three other thought they would like to see that. As it turn out all her matches we cancelled as the Boys did not wrestle so she won by forfeiting their matches. The we had a neighbor girl want to turn out for football and it did not happen. I also sent my 8 milermeter Bell Camera withj oujt opldest son Brian and he took picture of students being let town on a sheet two stores and that was a no; no. So this was the beginning of teachers losing control of the class room many time. It was a very interesting time for we went through 3 superintendents in the four years for we had one who had sexual relations with a secretary and had to be fired and two others that they felt could not do the job expected and I was in favor of both for they were strong Christian men. I learned people were begining to expect to much and it was not being human but wanted all to be prerfect! 
I was asked by three pastors in Harrah to see if there was interest in a Christian School and sure enough, we formed a Board and selected a Program leader to lead the Program and it is still in operation today. Judy Hunter gave the School 3 Million dollars to build a new School building in Harrah which was a total surprise. The School is still benefiting from her donations. 
Then we took our youngest son Mike out of the White Swan School District as a Freshman and took a position as Pastor of the Onalaska, Assembly of God in 1982 for three years. It was a very special time for us and we saw many people come to the Lord and the Principle said, we could have a Bible study in the High School we saw several students attended. Then I was asked by Bob Dow, a New York life Insurance sales man to pray for our Superintendent Ray Amstandt, who had brain cancer. Then latter on while we were in California we were asked to take Ray and his wife to Disney Land, as he was in a wheel chair then, it was a pleasure to help them both.
