This second-hand story made a strong emotional impression on Russell, one that carried an important personal life
directive:
Hearing about how Grandpa ran off the ‘‘bad guys’’ thrilled me and made me proud, just like my father felt. . .Grandpa had
a motto, which he told to my father, who told it to me: ‘‘A man has to draw a line inside himself that he won’t allow any
man to cross.’’ I have always been proud of his heroic dignity against forces more powerful than him. And it left a deep
impression on me that he would not let himself be oppressed or intimidated by anyone. As a young man, I adopted
Grandpa’s motto and drew my line inside, and I have stood strong behind it my whole life.
