Dale Rory arrives in Paddock in the heart of West Texas cattle
country, in pursuit of his dream of coaching basketball and owning
a cattle ranch, something his recently deceased and highly
principled parents had encouraged. Believing his faithfulness to
their teachings has led to past accomplishments, he is equally
convinced that they are his compass to future success. Hired by the
school, he buys a four-hundred-acre spread, but aware of his need
for help, he seeks out his neighbors, Sybil and Marilyn Stone.
Sybil, a widowed rancher seasoned by hardship, brusquely doles out
advice, but Dale quickly recognizes the value of her guidance, as
well as the beauty of her eighteen-year-old daughter. When it
becomes clear that Dale has jumped in over his financial head, he
gets the break of a lifetime. Having bought five lottery tickets on
a whim, he wins the jackpot and banks twenty-five million. With no
more money woes, he considers what he will do with his fortune.
Having been taught that "To whom much is given, much is required,"
he must now decide if all those parental tenets are just words or
his guide for life? BUD CAMPBELL, a Texan and graduate of Mount
Vernon High School, was an all-state member of their1948
state-championship basketball team, and subsequently played for
Texas Christian University. After ten years of leading basketball
programs at various Texas schools and inspiring youngsters to
develop a winning attitude, Bud spent twenty-seven years as a
school principal, the majority at North Mesquite High in the Dallas
area. With humor, wit, and an upbeat personality, Bud has inspired
thousands with his motivational speeches at banquets, civic
organizations, and staff development programs where he stresses
that life's richest blessings are realized through giving freely.
