In 1941, Cecil graduated from Clarksville High School and enrolled at the University of Georgia on a football scholarship. But he was forced to drop out of college and return home when World War II broke out and drained the Morgan farm of workers. After the war ended, he bought his first bulldozera Caterpillar D6and went into business.The business went through three phases, Morgan says. The first phase was under the moniker of Cecil Morgan, Contractor. Back then, his only assets were a little cash and a big bulldozer. The company consisted of three employees; the office was a room in the Morgan house.
