This story happened when Jared was 3 or 4 years old.

At this time in Jared’s life I was operating a logging Company in partnership with Jared’s Uncle Gene called Carr Logging.

This particular day I was home before the men that worked for us returned to the shop. When the pickup came up the driveway and into the shop yard I walked out with Jared and his cousin Justin to see how the day had gone in the woods. When we arrived at the pickup one of the employees by the name of Mike began to complain about an injury that he had received to one of his hands either at work or over the weekend and how he just couldn’t do the job. Before any one commented Jared jumped right in with his own suggestion, and here is exactly what he said “well use the other one”. Mike looked at me with a shocked look and said to me “well you can tell whose son he is”. We all had a good laugh.
