About Pat D:

I am retired and 69 years old…Sometimes I feel much older and at times much younger…I spent nearly fifty years in the business world, mostly in the management and executive functions of a Fortune 500 corporation and then about 14 years running a consulting company specialized in human behavior and motivation…Hobbies are observing human behavior, motorcycling, gardening, and woodworking; humans are by far the most interesting and motorcycling the most exciting.

MrWebster says:
"Pat D: Of course, I appreciate your economic and even political views (they go hand in hand, when you think about it, don't they?). What I enjoy and appreciate most of all is your acute intelligence. Oh, if we could just get some more professors here on this website. Do you know anyone? I had wanted to make this short and sweet, but now I am not going to do so. I am certain that you are fully cognizant of Napolean Hill and his teachings. "Whatever the mind of man can CONCEIVE and BELIEVE, it can ACHIEVE." LET'S DO IT. High regards, MW "
DB Lady says:
