>> I went to Villanova University.
I majored in electrical engineering.
I graduated in 1968, and I went to work for Hamilton Sundstrand in Connecticut,
but I joined the field service department because I liked the Navy.
I wanted to, you know, "Join the Navy and see the world."
I wanted to go other places, and Hamilton Sundstrand has reps all over the world
because we make lots of aircraft supply equipment.
And my first assignment was supposed to be on the Boeing 747 in Seattle.
And the day I showed up for work -- May 27 of 1968 -- someone met me in the lobby.
It was actually the man who took me to lunch when I was interviewed several months before.
And he said, "Since you were last here, I have been promoted
to be the service manager for the space department.
And you are going to work for me.
You are not going to work for the other guy that you interviewed with.
And you are not going to go to Seattle; you are going to go to Houston
for one year -- maybe a year and a half."
That's what he told me.
And 43 years later, I finally retired after my year and a half.
So it was - and, you know, it's one of those things -- like I said earlier --
it's - you know, God has a plan for you that you don't really understand.
And His plan is almost always better than the one that you would ever have for yourself.
Instantaneously you may not recognize it, but in hindsight that's where you recognize it.
