Mom's sister married a barnstorming Baptists evangelist. He few around doing stunts, landed when a crowd gathered to watch, did the preacher thing, took up a collection, and flew off. When they started having kids he settled down to pastoring churches and sold the plane. He started buying and managing homes as section 8 housing. The government guaranteed the rent was always paid, and paid to fix the houses when the renters tore things up. He and his family lived meagerly on his pastor's salary always re-investing the profits from the homes on more rent homes. Passing he left his 3 kids the business. Remember his youngest daughter took over management and was totally shocked, all three siblings were. Without Dad re-investing within a year they all 3 become cash millionaires. Turned out he was the richest man in the small town of Wagoneer Oklahoma. Remember him always wearing a black 3 piece suit. white shirt and tie, with a big silver fish hook pin on the lapel. When little I asked what the fish hook was for and he said it was meant he was a fisher of men.

Sure have some interesting family.
