Mitch: - Mitch was eight years old when his father was killed in a car accident. At nine years old, he worked on a farm for 35 cents a week, plus room and board. He gave the money to his mother. Theirs was one of the poorest families in the country. Mitch became a target for the bullies all through his school years. He joined the Navy and during WW2 trained in Judo. After WW2 was over, all the bullies became friends. He married one of the most beautiful ladies God ever created and they had three beautiful children. While going to Bible School, he taught Bible for 20 years, and was a chaplain for 20 years at the local prison.
