Daniel Carroll:  

Greetings from the LA Area ( circa 2019 , December) I hope everyone is fine and life is going as good as may be expected...I work PT in the trade show industry now and all is well.. My,my, my has time vanished! I was 17 yesterday- 66 today...I glad to still be around , however when it is over I would never come back..to me our country is in decline...$24,000,000,000,000 in debt- our debt proves it... Easy going has become obsolete and to me commercial entertainment is awful...Travel is quick ( by air a big hassle) and medicine has come a very long way...but how many homeless people does one see on a given day? That saddens me deeply...God has been so very good to me Always so I won't dare truly whine, it is just the times...Too much sorrow everywhere...

I was informed that I couldn't/shouldn't build up a non-profit at the same time I'm building a for-profit business. My enemies (what enemies, I thought?) would taint all my hard work in both enities. The attorney was right on target. As our trading company grew people I never met hated me in particular...Expand for more
