My maternal grandpa was a Vietnam Vet. Served as a cook on the Legendary USS Hancock. I never asked him about it I felt it was something a person never wanted to remember but could never forget. He was my first Mentor. I bare his last name as my second last name. I want to dedicate this to him. R.I.P. Grandpa.

1st Lesson: Value People

2nd Lesson: Treat everyone with a degree of respect, no matter what they have done or who they are.

3rd Lesson: It is better to be diplomatic rather than aggressive in any given situation.

These principles paid for my mentor's funeral. They have keep me out of trouble and gotten me out of situations I should have not made it out of. I know if you follow them they will do the same for you.
