Bob’s Story
The Good Christian Son
In Bob’s story, we read about how he views himself in terms of his cultural identity and the shifts that occurred in his religious life as a result of family relationships, his move from the South to the Northeast, and his rethinking about his role in society and in his family. He also talks about what influenced his first career choice as a minister in an Evangelical Christian church and what accounted for the choice of his second career as a teacher. As you read, pay attention to his shifts in personality traits and in his understanding of his religious affiliation and other shifts in his cultural identity.
Bob’s Story
I must admit from the outset that I was somewhat surprised that someone would even be interested in my story. What I mean by that is, when it comes to culture, I have often thought that my life was somewhat void of it. I’m just another White guy with a job, two children, and a wife. I have nothing special to offer in the way of a story, right? Upon further reflection however, I have come to realize that one’s cultural heritage is not about being impressive or unique. Rather, each person’s history is more significant than he or she could ever imagine—at least to them and those with whom they come in contact. So what follows is a sort of snapshot of my life from a cultural and especially spiritual identity standpoint.
I was born in south central Kentucky in a town that had no hospital. My mother and father had to travel several miles to access the needed medical assistance for my birth. This was not seen as a hardship or even an inconvenience, just how things were. My mother was the daughter of a farmer and a homemaker. She was the youngest of 10 children, 7 daughters and 3 sons. My father was from another town in Kentucky. His father was a professional in the trucking industry, and his mother taught music. My father met my mother while he was a college student in music education. He was also the music director of the small rural Southern Baptist church where my mother was a member. My mother’s ethnic background was Scottish and Welsh. Her maiden name reflects that heritage. My father’s ethnic heritage was Dutch and English. I cannot say that these historical roots made any significant contributions to my cultural heritage. Both of my parents seemed to prefer the notion that they were “American,” and that was all that was necessary to them.
In the region of Kentucky I grew up in, people.

In this talk, Dr. Haitao Li will introduce the food supply chain configuration problem (FSCCP) to optimize the tactical-level mode selection and inventory positioning decisions for a general multi-echelon food supply chain. Computational studies show that the optimal FSCCP solutions significantly outperform two heuristic solutions that focus solely on cost or quality. Managerial insights are obtained on the impacts of key input parameters on the optimal configuration and performance metrics.

2. The early years
Born: Grand Forks, ND
This is where I first lived
after I was born. Nice?
Parents split up.
Not long after I was born,
my dad left and my mom
and I moved back to the
Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation of South
Dakota.
3. The Pine Ridge is a place of
magnificent vistas, like the one to
the right (the Badlands).
The people have a strong focus on
family and culture. I’ve never since
felt as close to a group of people as
I did to my family when I lived on
the reservation.
4. Whiteclay, Nebraska – “Skid Row of Plains”
While a tragedy, it’s only a symptom.
My memories of Whiteclay
include relatives constantly
asking for rides there to pick
up beer.
Of course, I also remember
buying my first pair of tennis
shoes there.
5. A legacy of activism
My family on the reservation
has a long history of activism.
The shootout at Oglala, in
which two FBI agents were
killed, happened on my
grandparents’ land. Leonard
Peltier was later convicted of
killing the agents.
My great-grandmother,
Cecelia Jumping Bull (seen to
the RIGHT), and my great-
grandfather, Harry Jumping
Bull, invited the AIM activists
to stay on their land.
“Grandma Jumping Bull” by Leonard Peltier
6. My family moved a lot:
•Vermillion, S.D.
•Winner, S.D.
•Gregory, S.D.
Moving meant making
new friends, losing old
ones.
It also meant being away
from my reservation
family.
Gregory’s “Twin Buttes”
7. My life off the reservation has been challenging, but rewarding.
Often, I’ve
had to be an
educator.
While I
didn’t ask for
it, I try to
accept this
responsibility
with grace.
Sometimes though,
I feel like I’m
standing in a crowd
screaming and no
one hears me.
But I also can’t
imagine living life
any other way.
8. The college years
Like many Native students,
my college years were
defined by growth and
struggle.
I got drunk a lot and
ruined many friendships …
But I also found my path.
I’ve been clean and sober
for the past 20 years after
attending treatment while
still in college.
