That’s a great story, Norman, thanks for sharing! I also owe much of where I am today and the many things I had the opportunity to see, do and learn throughout my life to a number of people who enjoyed giving back and found their own success in seeing others succeed. And I try to honor them by doing the same where I can.

What a story! You've led a fascinating and inspiring life. You put it in clear and vivid writing, and the conclusion you came to, is for all of us. This reminded me of the two amazing English teachers I had in school, who left an imperceptible mark on me. Maybe that's why I ended up studying English literature in college, who knows...

"Pay it forward" - a great idea to live by!
