What do you attribute your success to?

  • When he was in the military, he was a tail gunner in the air force and he was the only enlisted man on the crew. The other men were well educated and encouraged him to use the GI Bill and get an education. When he was in Thailand, he saw people hospitalized in such bad conditions that he wanted to be able to provide better care and even though he never was able to return to Thailand, he was helped many all over the world.
