Bob says: 
Just for the record I grew up in a small Iowa town and began working full time (when not in school) for a local farmer and at my parents Farm Store Business when I was in eighth grade.  Town was 300 but now is 100 and some of my family still lives there.  Many people along the way helped me get my BS and MS in Civil /Environmental Engineering at the Univ of Iowa, moved to Olympia as a Public Health Engineer in Water Supply.  Started my own engineering company 9 years later, grew it to five offices and 75 engineers, scientists etal, made some good sideline business decisions and began in 1992 Giving Back to those who helped me and other poor people like my family was.  Life has been good.   We now give away much of our Mandatory Distribution of our IRA account to youth and water projects ---most through Rotary. I try to give time, talent and resources to those that will benefit---if they also help themselves am us in improving their family situation.
