Before I get to the profile for the Great Plains Bisons' owner, I will mention a few more differences between our real-world timeline and the timeline of this dynasty. These differences may be considerable in certain areas, but here are some more of them, just the same.

Joseph Kennedy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, among many others, die mostly either to causes related to military service, vehicle accidents, or various medical issues, before they marry. Warren Harding dies during World War I, in this dynasty's timeline, so he never becomes President like he does in our real-world timeline. Without Harding, among others, in the picture for the Republican Party, that leaves an opening for Lincoln Shakespeare to earn the Republican presidential nomination in 1916. From about 1850 to about 1950 or so, the Whigs are the main political opponents of the Republicans, and the Democrats are often in the third-place or fourth-place position in many elections, due to certain political positions their main leaders espouse or espoused that aren't or weren't very, if at all, popular with a large part of the American population. Although they do hold the White House at the present time, Truman is only their first President to hold office in nearly a century, after being largely outvoted by Whig or Republican Party candidates in that time.

Ronald Reagan marries Virginia Mayo in this timeline, and not either Jane Wyman or Nancy Davis. They spend many years married to each other, and Virginia Reagan is the First Lady after Reagan is elected President as listed above. Other men marry the above two women, but they are not well-known, even in this dynasty's timeline, so they will not be mentioned, if they don't have to be, of course.

George H.W. Bush survives World War II, and marries Barbara Bush, as he did in our real-world timeline, but he never founds a political dynasty of sorts, and never becomes President in this timeline. Any surviving children and/or other descendants he has mainly will spend their adult lives in public service or in matters of commercial business, with a few involved in sports-type stuff, but will generally not seek public political office. George Walker Bush, for instance, will be involved with a number of sports teams and/or leagues, and eventually will have a future to be revealed later, if and whenever possible, and all.

Other differences will be mentioned as the need and/or desire arises between both applicable timelines and worlds here, folks, and as possible and appropriate enough, of course. Now let's get to introducing David Murray, the owner of the Great Plains Bisons here, as best as we can. This will likely be a considerably in-depth profile for now, but please bear with me, folks, if you don't mind too much, okay?

David Murray was born on April 27, 1897 in Summit, New Jersey, as the third son and eighth child of his parents Edward and the former Miranda Jackson. Only two of his siblings were left at home when he was born to his middle-aged parents late in their lives. They died simultaneously when he was just nine years old during a missionary trip to Cuba while hiking there. His older siblings were already out on their own by then, but were all unfortunately not able to take him into their homes, for various reasons. Church officials tried to look after him for a while until he was back in the United States, eventually having to put him in an orphanage, once they found they couldn't provide well enough for him any longer. He kept bouncing from one orphanage or foster family to any number of other orphanages or foster families for the next few years from about 10 to 15 years of age, before running away from the last foster family he had in his life before adulthood.

A few years more passed, and he grew up physically and mentally to a degree in that time. When World War I broke out, he immediately signed up to fight, even though he still looked quite underage in 1914, still having a considerable growth spurt ahead for him in his life. Serving first in the British Isles Defence Union's Air Corps, before America's eventual entry into the war, specifically in the Scottish Aeronautics Division, he soon downed 37 Central Powers-affiliated warplanes before the United States finally entered the war on Britain's side of it officially. Once the United States was officially in the war, he requested, and quickly was granted, a transfer to the American Army's Air Corps. He downed another 43 Central Powers-affiliated warplanes by the end of the war, racking up 80 planes in total by the end of it. Not one single person in his plane was ever even killed, much less wounded, whenever they flew with him during the entire war. He earned many decorations and medals while serving, but doesn't wear them very often, as a reminder to him not to forget those he served with during the war who were never able to return alive to their homes after the war. He lost many friends and comrades in the war, so he rarely wears his medals and other decorations.

He remained in the United States Army until 1925, before retiring as a Major. After retiring from the military, he went into business and even competed a few times in the Indianapolis 500. However, the best finish he could earn in his Indianapolis 500 races was 15th in the 1932 edition of the race. Seeing as it was quite unlikely that he'd ever do better at Indianapolis, or anywhere else, for that matter, he ended his racing career shortly thereafter.

Not long after doing so, he unexpectedly met the still-single Eleanor Roosevelt. He courted her for a while, but they ultimately chose not to marry. Years later, he found the first real love of his life, the former Margaret Howe. Their eventual marriage didn't last long, however, due to the fame of them both during their marriage and their earlier courtship, ultimately with them divorcing within two years of their marriage. With that the case, they never had children together, even after trying to have them, parting amicably when they split.

Both he and Margaret have retreated somewhat from the public world since their divorce. Not totally, but largely. Both are still unattached, but he has decided his next wife, if he has one, will not be someone who's widely known of by the general public anywhere at all.

He lives near Lincoln, and spends a lot of time traveling for business purposes. When not traveling or watching various sports contests, he spends a lot of time maintaining his stamp, postcard, currency, or swords collections. Either that, listening to his extensive collection of musical recordings, and/or cooking assorted culinary items mostly for his own consumption, but occasionally for various friends or relatives of his in his life.

A picture or pictures of him will be added later to this thread, if and whenever possible, necessary, and/or appropriate, I'm sure, folks. As far as the next member of the Great Plains Bisons' major league staff of personnel, I will most likely be introducing you to Joe Wolniewicz, the current General Manager of the Great Plains Bisons, next here. Please watch for his profile to be posted here as soon as possible, of course. Until next time, then, I'll close this post. CD out.
