As I grew my practice I began to “give back” to my local community; first as a Boy Scout Troop Leader and later as a big brother to inner-city families. For many years, I would drive into the city to pick up teenagers and pay them to rake the leaves piled up on my large lawn; this taught them the rewards of teamwork and planning. In between, I drilled them on learning their multiplication tables. Eventually, one of them became a college graduate in civil engineering.
