As a child, Everett knew that he would eventually leave the family farm.
When his third grade teacher fastened a large world map to the classroom wall,
his imagination and curiosity were ignited.
His family showed only contempt for his scholarly pursuits,
so he didn’t tell them that he had been named
Chair of the Anthropology Department.
They would never visit him to understand the details of his life
and he had little interest in returning home,
and he had little interest in returning home,
especially since the disaster caused by his older brothers.
