Irving Goolsby never went far in school. He had to help work and support the family, as many did in those days. He was really smart. He could do mathematical calculations in his head, and could tell you almost anything about history. He had lived a good deal of it. He was a Mexican Border veteran.
He worked on the railroad, and later was a carpenter. In his later work years, he lived in Jacksonville, Florida and commuted home to O'Brien, Florida on the weekends.
He was an intensely proud and strong individual.
