scott fitzgerald famously said there are no second acts in american lives, but i would guess there's a time when byron white -- white was constantly framed in the public eye by his headline making first act, an act so to speak that made him a nationwide household name while he was still a teenager, but which penalized a the small young man with expectations he could not foresee, did not wish and sometimes could not meet. but we're already ahead of the game. byron raymond white was born in ft. collins, colorado, but he grew up 11 miles away in wilmington, population 500 at the time. his father managed a lumberyard. wellington's economy was dominated by sugar beets, a crop demanding attention constantly and back breaking work. both white and his older brother clayton worked beet fields after school and during the summer from the time they could wield a hoe. winters were harsh. spring brought strong winds off the front range. summers were hot and dry. character was shaped in the relentless competition between the land and the elements. self-reliance was not an abstraction. by graduating
