That dude carpe'-ed the hell out his diem. :thumbup:

That is for sure.

My favorite part may be this:


On one occasion Baroness Ella van Heemstra, the mother of Audrey Hepburn, arrived with a bottle of champagne.

I can't help but then have these visuals:

Jeebus. That's one heckuva resume. Greatest Generation indeed. :thumbup: :thumbup: My grandfather was in the Battle of the Bulge. Never said a word about it, and I never asked. It was unspoken that it was verboten. I always regretted not asking him more about his WWII experiences (being a history buff), but it was just an unspoken rule not to bring it up.

All I ask for is to have my ashes placed in a Chock Full of Nuts coffee can, placed on a bar and have the bar bill paid for. :) That or Elmo can dump me into Bay Lake. ;)

During the next eight years he visited some 500 companies in an effort to improve the quality of management.

He liked a challenge.

I'll have to hunt down his books. Lucky Christmas is coming up, that will be my wife's presents sorted. ;)
