My role model was my grandfather. He instilled in me the feeling that no matter how successful you are you have a responsibility to help others. ↗

Before my grandpa built his own church, we went to the neighboring town, and it was a white community. You know, up north, mostly middle European people and Indians, Chippewa Indians. We were welcome to that church, but once we got in, they didn't know what to do with us. ↗
