Among the memories this writer has of Vercil Hart, I probably learned as much about the value of work, duty, and kindness from my uncle as I did from my father James Hart, Sr. From about the time I was 13 years old until the end of my college years in 1975, I often worked on Vercil's farm and the Glaze farm in the summer time, driving tractors to mow and rake hay, haul hay to the barns, and on many occasions, I helped my Aunt Dorothy milk cows while Vercil was baling hay late in the day. Some of the best home-cooking I ever ate as an appreciative youth was at their kitchen table.
When I was 14, I was driving Vercil's tractor one day to mow hay, and unaware of it, I had been resting my foot on the tractor's starter on the floorboard long enough to burn out the starter, requiring my uncle to buy a new one and replace it. Looking back on that now, I know he must have been furious, but not one word of anger or blame escaped his lips. After my effusive apologies, because I was sure my dad would be mad about this when he heard about it, Vercil only said, "You'll know better next time," and we went on with our work - for many years to come as it turned out. I've never forgotten that - Vercil hiding his anger behind chuckles and kind words and forgiving the ignorance of my youth. James Hart - April 14, 2015
