After forming his company his travels took him to the far corners of the earth dozens of times where he worked with customers and contractors in bridge building, road construction, and large dirt moving projects. Visiting foreign countries and viewing various economic conditions and cultures made him appreciate and love the United States even more. He has been married to Marilyn Sue Childs Yarbro since 1968. Before and after college he was an avid horseman involved in rodeo, breeding, raising, training, and buying and selling quarter and thoroughbred horses and won horse races in seven states. At one time he owned the World Champion calf roping horse. He wrote and sold numerous songs and played violin for two years in the Jackson Junior Symphony Orchestra before playing guitar, piano, and mouth harp in the Tyrants rock and roll band during college.view less
