One cannot measure the influence of the everyday, hard-nosed, tirelessly working father who does all he can to provide a better life for his child. For the six children of the Allen family, when they looked for a role model they didn't have to look far - Harold "Red" Allen sat across the dinner table. Red was also their Little League coach, history teacher, guidance counselor and many other job titles that can't fit on a standard one-page resume. Along with Gwendolyn, his wife of 55 years, they have formed quite a team and delivered a message of hard work, faith and love that has been embraced by their children.
