Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. Cancer didn't kill me in December 1966 - in fact this December marks my 50th anniversary of surviving cancer.

All those years in student government and Mr. Rosa's history / civics classes paid off: (1) lawyer for 40+ years; (2) political consultant for 30+ years; (3) government affairs professional for 30+ years; and (4) executive coach for CEO's and political leaders for 10 years. How I crammed 110 years into 50 years post-high-school is a mystery to me. I'm exhausted but I'm only getting started!
