Mendel Finch
(F)

Mendel Finch (b. 1863) changed his name from Fink when he immigrated to the United States in the late 19th century. During the early 20th century, he raised chickens. In the 1910s, he ran a moving and hauling business in Portland, Oregon. He decided that automobiles were just a fad, while horses and wagons would stay around forever. Not surprisingly, he went broke in 1919. He avoided honest work ever after, and even when he was 88 years old, wouldn't admit that he'd made a mistake with his business. His sons Aaron and Marvin exhibited the same determination to be always right.
