I advanced moving from job to jobaccelerating my work position providing me with enough income to purchase awrist watch, my first car and paying my way through college.Investing and my entrepreneurial instincts have catapulted me from having my firstduplex, purchasing a printing business, opening three roller skating rinks, building anational condominium and apartment development company building and sellingover 1,400 units.Along the way I think I have used most of my Nine Lives! Among my many close callswith death are my tour in Vietnam, surviving Hurricane Iris and a runaway driver.I served with the 1st Air Calvary Division in Vietnam with my team's mission, 'Searchand Destroy'. At times we had direct contact with the enemy at daybreak, mid-day,and prior to sunset-breakfast, lunch and dinner. I excelled at this S & D mission beingnamed 'Soldier of the Month' and being awarded an accommodation for Valor.On one of our many international SCUBA diving adventures my wife and I were on a100-foot yacht, The Aggressor, in Belize along with another 100-foot yacht, The WaveDancer. We were tied up 20 feet apart in a remote area waiting out Hurricane Iris,when the category four storm ripped The Wave Dancer from its cleats capsizing andkilling 20 of the 28 people aboard. I wrote a book about the tragedy, 'No Safe Harbor'.Another close call with death came as I was sitting in my front room watching abaseball game. A person speeding from the police catapulted his car over a berminto a tree and spun his car into my room. Both the tree and car were less than 12inches from where I was sitting. The fleeing crashing culprit was arrested a few weekslater on my 80th birthday I have lived a charmed and successful Life! Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781663263544
