He has visited approximately 20 countries. My personal favorite story is when he was in China. He took a picture of an ammunition storage tunnel and was forced to turn over the film, but cunningly almost switched it out in time to take it back to America. Serving in the Vietnam War, he controlled air defense missiles. In Africa, he taught the open pit mine mechanics and electricians how to repair the electric drive mining trucks. In Chile, on a plane, the pilot turned the controls over to him. He had never flown a plane before. The pilot then taught him how to fly a plane. He flew it for several hours his first time over the mountains in Chile. All these events showed that he had a desiderate for adventure. Therefore all of these traits makes him an inspiring person to me. He is an adventurous, hardworking, and persistent man. Without him I would not have knowledge of good work ethic and the the drive to finish what I start. When I see him in the crowd at football games, I push myself to do the best I can. I am extremely thankful for him and all that he has done for me and my
