Learning the Family Business
(Talk of the Town photo provided)
"Gosh, Grandpa, your work looks awfully fun!" Little Cayden Leighty was likely thinking just that when he got to spend a little time this week playing in the mud with his grandfather, Kim Wheeler, owner of MC Wheeler & Sons, a family-owned Whitley County well drilling company since 1884. Above, Cayden examines some of the mud and slurry coming out of the ground as a well was being drilled locally, splashing mud everywhere in the process! Perhaps one day he'll make the 5th generation to join the family business.
