With all that is happening in our world, I thought a flashback would be entertaining! Wow.
Steve and I were on our way to the San Diego airport to pick up my brother who was flying in for a celebratory birthday weekend. Because we are usually always early, we stumbled upon the opportunity to be political for one morning, 28 years ago (so not me).We all, of a certain age, remember Ross Perot, the self-made billionaire and two-time independent presidential candidate who was called the Bill Gates of the 1960s!Perot ran an independent presidential campaign in 1992, as well as a third party presidential campaign in 1996 that led to the establishment of the Reform Party. Though both bids were unsuccessful, they wound up being some of the strongest presidential showings ever by a candidate not of a major political party.For us, being 30 and being in San Diego on a spectacular Fall day- this was one of those happenstances which we absolutely love. What a memory!"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.
They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game
one foot from a winning touchdown."
-Ross Perot
