Congratulations! I'm reminded by your story of a quote from RW Emerson... “I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...” You've certainly been as tenacious as the flag at Ft.

Great story. Thanks for sharing. Where can we experience this, please? Is it a video, or audio recording, or book, or all of the above?
