When Sterling Ball got back to his hometown of Parkersburg, #WestVirginia after being discharged from the U.S. Army in 1971, his plan was to buy a motorcycle, grow his hair long, move to California, and become a hippie. He got to step one, but because he had purchased his bike through a loan from the credit union of his employer, Kroger, he needed to keep his job to make his payments. So instead of becoming a hippie, Sterling became a union organizer.
