I really enjoyed your "what if" ...Steve -<br />I really enjoyed your "what if" story. At my age (58) there is a long trail to look back over. There are two big "what ifs" for me... <br /><br />1. What if I hadn't taken the call from a competitor and accepted the invitation to discuss coming to work for him. He became my career mentor and ended up hiring me four times at companies he invested in. <br /><br />2. What if, I had thought more about life balance and less about career success during my first marriage? What if?<br /><br />Thanks for the thought provoking post.

As a man and father with a few what if's of my own, including one that goes "what if my father had been around for me growing up" I'ld bet your father was ok saying no to Hoover. Serving his country and raising five children is nothing to shake a stick at, especially knowing that at least for a while he had impact enough to get all five to briefly follow in his footsteps!

Not to mention I had coal mining relatives up in PA - maybe your dad would have busted them!<BR/><BR/>All of life seems what if and ours is one possible path but here we ate on it - how about 'what if' we didn't race incessantly around the block as kids? What if I didn't win the gold medal in the 1972 Olympic marathon on our street - twice around the block? Maybe I wouldn't have goneout for cross-country in high school? Been captain and all-city? Recruited and gone to the college I did? Got the job I did? Where I met my wife? <BR/><BR/>And so it goes?<BR/><BR/>Or more concretely what if Bobby Nystrom was called offsides as he should have been!?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668256233015728668.post-29230524078259985472009-02-05T15:58:00.000-05:002009-02-05T15:58:00.000-05:00TDB --- Get started on your own "What If?" list!

My personal "What If?" involves a graduate study research project, a stop at a phone booth (this story is dating me now!), a random search through the Yellow Pages for an interview contact, a meeting the next day... and a referral by that contact to speak to someone else at a local high school the very next day. My future husband would be working there. 33 years after that stop at the phone booth... 4 kids, 9 grandkids, my blog, Twitter, YOUR STORY!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your story and this slice of history and your memorabilia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668256233015728668.post-15261328922945670562009-02-05T15:40:00.000-05:002009-02-05T15:40:00.000-05:00This is amazing.
