IF I WERE GOVERNOR: [My priority would be] clean water. A healthy water supply is key to a healthy environment. … If we can’t hook up to a reliable supply of clean water, we won’t be able to sustain our growth.
MENTOR: My father. While not in business, he taught our family so much. His patents, innovations and accomplishments as a Bell Labs scientist were legion, but he never spoke of same, rather letting the work and the accolades which continued to come long after retirement speak for him. He was a person of great character, faith, thought and quiet action. He led his life modestly and provided a great example to our family.
LISTENING: I enjoy the Millhouse Podcast. The host, Andy Mill, is a former Olympic skier and sports commentator. He and his son interview some of the great legends of the Keys, which while centered around fishing reveals the colorful history of one of Florida’s greatest treasures.
