My name is Lee Olson and I enjoy the Epoch Times, particularly the “Next Generation” column. I have recently retired after 48 years in the grocery business, with 43 of those years as an independent, but this story comes from my youth.
I was 14 years old when I spotted a red mini-bike in a local hardware store. The bike was priced at $125. Knowing I had about half the money saved already, I set about getting the rest as fast as I could. I mowed yards for my money, and my mother set the rate at $1 per yard because, as she said, “That’s all they can afford.”
