Two Laborers From Dog Patch USA My parents were hard workers.  I couldn’t think of better poster children for Labor Day than the two of them.  They were farmers, like as in milking cows, herding cattle, we had pet raccoons, raised chickens, kind of farmers.  They were also in construction.  Labor was a daily activity [...]
