Between The Two Men, Somewhere,

After About Six Months, I Told My Mother That I Wanted The Lessons To Stop, And She Was Intelligent Enough Not To Force Me To Continue. Besides, The Lessons Cost Money, Which Was Anything But Abundant In Our Household.

I Can Only Hope That Neither Of Them Was Scarred By Their Upbringing.

The Academy Gave Me A Grounding In Discipline And Hard Work That Has Sustained Me Throughout My Life, And The Lessons I Learned There I Now Try To Impress On Young People.

I Wanted To Get Away From My Past And Everything Connected With It.

Friends Are Very Important To Me, And I Have Always Had Many Of Them. There Are Probably Many Reasons Why This Is So, But Two Seem To Me More Valid Than Any Of The Others I Am A Naturally Friendly Person, And I Hate To Be Alone.
