Loading ...17 years old, on the Greyhound Bus heading for Florin CA just north of Lodi and south of Sacramento; every thing I owned in a duffle bag. I’d left home (LA) for good. On my own. $20 in my pocket and I had a toothache. That was my Silverngold start to making my fame and fortune, looking for my pot of gold. Well, I found it! It’s called LIFE! “Anything works if you do” and “the harder you work, the luckier you get“, and boy have I been lucky. Since going through Lodi I have been… Stable boy, Apprentice saddle maker, Powderman’s Helper, Pharmacist Assistant, Real Estate Salesman and Notary, Sgt E5 in California Army National Guard, Household Finance Assistant Manager, General Electric Credit Corporation Manager, Northern California Manager for Aetna Variable Annuity Life, National Field Service Director for same in DC, North Dakota General Agent for same, Seattle Assistant General Agent for Aetna Life and Casualty, Alaska General Agent for Aetna Life and Casualty, Alaska General Agent for Hartford Variable Annuity Life…. and then I retired at age 33 and moved to Canada! Yup, all just dumb luck I guess, but that’s just the first part of my life. One thing I have never knowingly done is violate my principles, and maybe that is what has made it so easy to recognize the lies and deceptions I’ve seen throughout life, and especially now….and even here on this great forum….But that’s another story nobody wants to hear. LOL!! The best advice I can give, and have always given my kids, is BE TRUE TO YOURSELF! Then everything else becomes Silverngold!
