Full-time maintenance worker at the VCSO

The first job I had growing up was mowing cemeteries throughout Vernon County with my grandpa and grandma. Marvin Chapple, Horton, Metz, and Rinehart cemeteries were just some of the ones we mowed. I still remember being amazed at how long we used some of the mowers. We had an old Allis-Chalmers that lasted through years of constant commercial use. I remember asking my Grandpa one day if that mower was better than others because it lasted so long and his reply was that anything could last awhile if you take good care of it.
