Jesse is quite the man.. he got his transplant as a teen after 13 months on waiting list... he has been a "big brother" to my son who is now 27 and has taken in the children of a friend of his since the parents have drug and drinking problems. He was farming until between someone setting his barn on fire and breaking into his house robbing him, sure wish he would go back to raising hogs since he got a grant to feed them some special soy beans and they were the leanest and best tasting pork I have ever had in my mouth. You would literally have to add some shortening to the skillet to cook the chops and side pork. He now has a job as a mechanic giving up the farm was hard for him but after the above incident then his place got hit by a tornado and the new barn was gone... he gave up on farming.
He has really made very good use of the life he has been given.
