20th Century Man: Carl Yeary 1904 - 2003

During his long life, Carl Yeary was a cowboy, a soldier, a teacher, and a sailor. As a young man, he boasted that he planned to live to be one hundred years old, make a million dollars, and travel around the world. By what he would have called the width of a frog hair, he narrowly missed fulfilling all three dreams. He was always ready to talk about anything that happened to catch the interest of his agile mind. Mostly, he told me about his extraordinary life. So, now I'll tell you.
