Arthur William Jasper was born in Philadelphia on June 3, 1925. He lived
in Philly for about five months, after which his family moved to the far
out (at that time) suburbs, right next to the farming country. With an
intense interest in agriculture, he spent every spare minute that he could
on a neighboring farm.
Bill's two extra curricular exercises were the Boy Scouts and being a
volunteer fireman. He graduated from the Elementary and the Advanced Pennsylvania
Fire School and became an engineer at the local fire company before going
into the Army.
Bill spent his entire civilian career in agriculture. He retired from
the Army Reserve in 1965 in the grade of Major.
