MEET DEAN TRAWICK Growing up on a tobacco farm in Kentucky, Michelle W. Trawick learned many lessons. “No matter how old you are, you have to get up early – even when you don’t want to,” she says, smiling. “Because on a tobacco farm there was a role for everyone. Even as a little kid, there was something for me to do. It’s teamwork. As a family, we were involved in every stage of the process, from prepping the ground and setting the plants to drying the leaves and taking it all to market. “Working together as a family produced a great sense of camaraderie and accomplishment,” she says. “I felt like I was contributing.”
