Ron's major
in collage was agriculture; we really enjoy his gorgeous apples.
REGRETS FOR WHAT I DIDN'T DO FOR MYSELF I didn't learn to play golf, to play poker, to play
bridge, etc, or to dance. Therefore, I took myself out of a number of
social situations that would have been very good in which to take part.
It really wasn't my fault, having been raised on a small farm that was
well outside a small town. But, once I found myself in the Navy, I
should have jumped in and caught up. I had this illusion that honesty,
hard work, good technical skill, etc. were all that was
required. I was wrong!
