1970 AIMS Testing-Only to find I should have been a teacher. Oh! So that’s why I was so unfulfilled in my work which was in undertaking and followed with Insurance Implementation (pre-need), a concept never previously used in Texas.

Retiring at 62, Cissie & I invested in our sons’ friends that were doing start-ups;

Some of which broke the bank. God is Good!

Lastly, in truth, I really did meet & chat with Albert Einstein.

God Bless Everyone. Have a great life. I surely did!
