Crawford He came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don’t know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin.“I mow your lawn,” he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.I asked him his name. “T ony Trivisonno,” he replied. “I mow your lawn.” I told T ony that I couldn’t afford a gardener.“I mow your lawn,” he said again, then walked away.I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I turn away a person who had come to me for help?When I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weeded, and the walks swept. I asked my wife what had happened.“A man got the lawn mower out ofthe garage and worked on the yard,”she answered. “I assumed you had hiredhim.”I told her of my experience thenight before. We thought it strange thathe had not asked for pay.The next two days were busy, and I forgot about T ony. We were trying to rebuild our business and bring someof our workers back to the plants. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw T ony again, behind the garage. I complimented him on the work he had done.“I mow your lawn,” he said.I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day T ony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix.Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. “Mr. Craw, snow pretty soon,” T ony told me one evening. “When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory.”Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, T ony got his job at the factory.The months passed. I asked the personnel departmentfor a report. They said T ony was avery good worker.One day I found T ony at ourmeeting place behind the garage. “Iwant to be ’prentice,” he said.We had a pretty good apprenticeschool that trained laborers. But Idoubted whether T ony had thecapacity to read blueprints andmicrometers or do precision work. Still,how could I turn him down?T ony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later,I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder.He had learned to read the millionths of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with a diamond.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story.A year or two passed, and again I found T ony in his usual waiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what he wanted.“Mr. Craw,” he said, “I like a buy a house.” On the edge of town, he had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.I called on a banker friend. “Do you ever loan money on character?” I asked. “No,” he said. “We can’t afford to. No sale.”“Now, wait a minute,” I replied. “Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He’s got a good job. You’re not getting a damn thing from your lot. It will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest.”Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for$2,000 and gave T ony the house with no down payment. T ony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around ourplace —a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing —T ony would gather and take home.After about two years, I found T ony in our familiar meeting spot. He seemed to stand a little straighter. Hewas heavier. He had a look of confidence.“Mr. Craw, I sell my house!” he saidwith pride. “I got $8,000.”I was amazed. “But, T ony, where areyou going to live without a house?”“Mr. Craw, I buy a farm.”We sat down and talked. T ony told me that to own a farm was his dream. He loved the tomatoes and peppers and all the other vegetables important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunted around the edge of town until he found a small, abandoned piece of property with a house and shed. Now he was moving his family to his farm.Sometime later, T ony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed. He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America. T ony was sponsoring him. With an amused look in his eye, he told me that when they approached the little farm he now operated, his friend stood in amazement and said, “T ony, you are a millionaire!”Then, during the war, a message came from my company. T ony had passed away.I asked our people to check on his family and see that everything was properly handled. They found the farm green with vegetables, the little house livable and homey. There was a tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and T ony didn’t owe a cent.After he passed away, I thought more and more about T ony’s career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.T ony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. T ony’s affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists’ affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.T ony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn’t find it —he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.Summary WritingFrom the start, Tony showed his ________ to ______his dream.
