Good answer. Nice to hear from somebody w/ a personal story about it.
Gov was Orville Faubus. ‘member him?
You bested me on the 101st. I woulda said “Nat’l Guard”.
Old Orvil was governor for 12 years, I think, at a salary of $12,000 a year. The year he left office he built what was then a mansion in the hills for $240,000.
My parents loved him because he started the commodities program. Or at least he got credit for it. We ate government cheese, powered eggs and drank powered milk. The cheese was the only thing worth eating.
