Red Pollard
Transcript: He lived a terrible life, but he was a guy that didn't allow that to defeat him. He lived as he chose even though he was not successful throughout his career. He really was not a success, he was mostly a failure. But, he did not hunker down under his fear like other people did. He stretched his life out as far as he could get it to go. He did as much as he possibly could. He did things he wasn't really physically able to do. So that he could be as fully alive as he could possibly be. And in a time like the 1930s that was a tremendous accomplishment. There were a lot of reasons to live a very narrow life. Red Pollard did not live a narrow life.
