Shoot For The Stars But If You

As A Boy, Because I Was Born And Raised In Ohio, About 60 Miles North Of Dayton, The Legends Of The Wrights Have Been In My Memories As Long As I Can Remember.

Society’s Future Will Depend On A Continuous Improvement Program For The Human Character. And What Will That Future Bring? I Do Not Know, But It Will Be Exciting.

These Fruits Will Be A New Breed Of The Human Species, A Human With New Views, New Vigor, New Resiliency, And A New View Of The Human Purpose. The Plant: The Tree Of Human Destiny.
