Hi Glenn,

It does take a different kind of thinking to be an entrepreneur!

Imagine how great the country would be if even more people learned entrepreneurship!

Your Mom was one smart cookie (pardon the pun)!

What an ingenious way to fill her classes... I can see now a little bit where you get some of your own ingenuity from...!

Thanks Glenn... I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the profound lesson too!

Best wishes,

Dien
