This man was responsible for so much and one of my mentors in business. Not only did he lay the foundation for the MBEIC he was responsbile for laying the foundation for the national organization. I remember when I first assendend to chair many years ago before he retired I was less worried about getting the approval of my peers and the board thn I was getting his approval. I did and it meant allot. I hold John is high regard and hope that in my lifetime I can leave just a part of the legacy he did.
