Biography

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/civilian_conservation_corps based in Missoula Montana Delmer Howard Porter, was born at Johns Creek, KY, the youngest child of John Walker Porter and Arminta Wells Porter, his siblings always said he was the pet of the family, but they all had to help on the farm.

I can still hear him when he went to the store on Payday, come in and holler, come look what Daddy got you all. He was a very strict parent, If he cut a limb off the tree, no use to run, you could stay two days, he would be standing in the same place waiting, but he had a heart of Gold The first time I ever seen tears in his eyes, is when I left home for Washington DC to go to work. The first payday I got was less than my telephone bill. He and Mom raised good kids. later on as we married and had our first children, we found out he didn't even like us, boy did he love those grandkids, we all started moving back to WV, which he loved, then when he went to the store he would stop by our houses and toot his horn and holler come up and look what Papaw got you.
