Larry Arrowood Quotations

I handled all the program activities and he (Butterfield) did the overall operation of the ranch. During my senior year of college Tom was looking for a building to start his boys' ranch. I went with him to look at the building that became the home of Butterfield Boys' Ranch.

It's a way of life, not just a job. You have to want to do it.

It's always been Tom's philosophy and to this day that if we are going to do it -- we are going to do it right.

In those days we usually had 12 to 15 boys with two staff. We worked 24/7. You can imagine the great experiences we had. Who could forget such things as catching those 'wild' horses when the boys were going to ride horses. The mini-bikes program provided excellent times for the children and the staff. Of course, it was the staff that always got injured.
