This post here about the Great Plains Bisons' current bench coach may be longer than average, but please bear with me, even if it is. There's a lot to cover here, and it should hopefully allow you to understand him better, although he won't likely end up on one of my human-run teams in the future, I think. With no further ado, then, here's Jared Kivett's character profile as it now stands, folks.

Jared Kivett was born on October 27, 1908 in Fort Myers Shores, Florida to his parents Gerald and Evelyn when they were both in their middle forties. He has eight half-siblings, four with a common father, and four with a common mother, equally divided between males and females for either parent. He shares part-blood through his father with Preston Bishop, Pippa, Emily, and Walter, from oldest to youngest. The half-siblings he's connected to through his mother, from oldest to youngest, are Milton, Angela, Charity, and Percival.

His mother was born Evelyn Olive Plummer, and she first married Jonah Piper, spending several years married to him before his unexpected death in a farming accident in 1905. As far as his father, Gerald had married the former Edna Julia Hanson in 1888, and then spent several years married to her before Edna's sudden death in an unexpected natural disaster that occurred in 1900 where she and her family were then living their lives somewhere near Mobile, Alabama.

Edna left four still-young children and her husband behind at the time of her tragic death, much to their great sadness. It took a few years for Gerald to deal with his grief at the loss of his wife, but eventually he met Evelyn, who'd recently lost a loved one herself. One thing soon led to another, and a marriage was soon executed, for multiple reasons on both Gerald and Evelyn's parts, at least.

Some time later, Jared came into the world for his parents. But unfortunately, while he was still young, and living near Fort Myers, Florida, his parents and certain other people he knew in his life were lost due to various causes, some of them criminal in nature. Several of his half-siblings tried to look out for him, as they could, but by the time he was just about a year or two away from becoming a teenager, he was already beginning to experience trouble with several people in and/or around the Fort Myers area of Florida. While he hadn't yet done anything felonious in nature, he was still acting out mainly due to grief over losing his parents close to him not long before. Not long after he became a teenager, he found another tragic soul on the streets, falling for her in very short order. Unfortunately, before they could each reach adulthood, and start thinking of a possible shared future for them both, Celeste Redman was killed in a semi-accidental gang-related drive-by shooting, when her killers were primarily aiming their guns at certain then-known rival gangsters from another gang based in or near Fort Myers and its surrounding area.

After her own tragic death, Jared fled Florida just as quickly as he could, carrying or wearing whatever he could while doing so. Finding an apparently abandoned car in the Fort Myers area, he quickly claimed it for his own, at least for a while, whether rightly or wrongly. He made his way to elsewhere in the United States using it to get around as best as he could, for as long as he could, until it quit working for him permanently when he was somewhere near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, near a recruiting office for the United States Army.

One thing soon led to another, on that very day in September 1922, and even though he was still not 14, in truth, he appeared to be at least 18 years old for some yet-unknown reason to the recruiter. Then Jared, wanting to find a way to deal with all the pain he was currently dealing with in his life, if at all possible, and for other reasons as well, at that time, either chose not to reveal his true age, or forgot, as the case might be, to the recruiter. Almost nobody in his life now who knows him well enough knows his true age, and he generally prefers to keep things that way as much as he can, when and however possible.

Spending the majority of the next quarter-century or so in the United States Army found him often overseas, especially after World War II finally broke out, and most especially after America entered it on the side of the Allies. Most of his World War II-era service was spent fighting in Europe and Africa. Before the war's eventual end, he was part of several missions to liberate various Nazi concentration camps. During many of those missions, he would periodically find many human corpses or body parts, much to his great surprise and other thoughts and feelings. Many tears were often shed by him and various others at those times, when he couldn't somehow help save the countless victims from dying or being killed by their captors in time.

After the war ended, Jared was quickly discharged honorably from the Army, as soon as possible, with the rank of Colonel. Within months, if not weeks, of being discharged, he was then hired by the recently-created Great Plains Bisons baseball team as their first official bench coach.

Jared often is very emotional, prone to fits of temper and anger at many different times. He also hates losing or seeing any bad things happen to those he really cares for in his life. At the present time, he's single, and not looking for someone to spend his life with. A picture or pictures of him will certainly be shared later when and if possible, necessary, appropriate, and/or desired, I'm sure, folks.

The next member of the Great Plains Bisons' major league staff of personnel whose profile I'll likely post here will be for their current pitching coach. It may be a while before I can post it, for various reasons, of course, but please keep an eye out for it, just the same, and I'll try to post it as soon as I can here. Until then, folks, I'll close this post here, I think. CD out.
