This is a memoir about my ninety-three years on this earth and the good luck I have had. It borrows from previous self-published memoirs about growing up on a farm during the depression of the 1930s, about real estate investments, and about a career in governmental service. That started with an entry grade of GS-6 trainee in the Border Patrol and ended with retirement twenty-one years later in grade GS-15. After retirement I was executive assistant to the CEO of the National Rifle Association, followed by two years as Deputy Executive Vice President (CEO) Good luck was a major factor in my success, but the luck was helped by the capacity for hard work developed on the farm as a teenager. Other factors in my successes were my natural ability for pistol marksmanship and my experience as an airplane pilot in World War II.
