Good deal Ed. That is something to be proud of.
I am at that stage of life that I can reflect, figure out what matters and what doesn't.... a few things stand out in my mind.
I raised two step daughters, did it when I didn't have to, provided a good stable home and set what I believe to be a good example of what a father should be, the biological dad did not.Young girls need a good father/male figure...
I built 3 successful small business's from the ground up....
I have the respect of many friends that I respect .
NEVER cheat anyone for a buck!
Give a little more than I take... always...
It's a good feeling to hold your head high and not have to bow to anyone.
