Growing up poor, owning nearly nothing, he didn’t miss the things that other kids enjoyed or took for granted.
But he never forgot the pain of waking up hungry, with nothing to eat. As a boy, he couldn’t wait to get through his morning classes so he could eat the free lunch at school. It was often his only meal of the day.
After high school, he left town and “made good.” One day he came back. He went to his old school and gave the principal money to buy breakfast for any student who was hungry in the morning.
