As we explore his visionary rise in the early 20th-century timber industry, we also uncover the foundational layers of trust and ambition that would later shape his family's dramatic journey. Alongside the tale of entrepreneurial spirit, we introduce critical advice on protecting our seniors from financial scams, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and informed oversight in safeguarding the vulnerable.
