Son-son Hamilton didn't acquire the habits of good discipline as a child. His mother Tiny, cast a strain on the family, by rejecting the authority of Roland her husband. So, when he and his son migrated to the land of promise and lander in Miami Florida, the youngster failed as a teen and young adult. To the disappointment of his Dad, uncle Harry and uncle George. He made the infamous list of dropouts from college, the Marine Core and the Police Force.
However, he had three very outstanding qualities. He was tall, handsome and super smart. These he exploited to the fullest. Having failed to make cash from a steady income, he used his becoming qualities to head gangs, that not only sold, but used drugs and swindle retiree and shut-ins, all senior citizens. Hard life chased him every turn he made, caught up with him, slapped him on the back and said, "We go hand in hand Buddy," but for a simple prayer his Dad prayed over him changed the trajectory of his life. Therefore, he was gagged gently by a chokecherry black knot, rendered powerless and sent to jail on a reduced sentence.
This gave him opportunity to exploit the privileges of the Cardigan gang under the eyes of the Prison Wordings. The FBI was closing in on them, so he master-minded a jail break and didn't go with the group. He was transferred from a Texas jail to one in California where he got converted to Christianity. He reinvented his life, through education, the Gospel and became a successful Pastor.
