John Dorman an American Hero

• Life doesn't need to be complicated - and I've
  worked
• hard to remove the clutter. But
• sometimes, folks don't allow you to live simply.
  In Soufriere
• I hear lots of suppositions and
  miss-suppositions, here say and they say about
  me. I will try to set the record in order .I was
  born on the Island of Saint Lucia,, life on the
  Island was simply wonderful .Kids then believed
  in fairies ,in the man in the moon, witches. and
  what have you, St. Lucia was better back in the
  1950s and we'd be better off if our Island was
  still like that. Well I'm sure it seems that way
  for those of us that lived in the 50s. I can
  assure you how simple and innocent life was
  then. In the 1950s, 50 of the native
  Lucians lived below the poverty line but that did
  not matter , because we were a happy bunch of
  happy people. I remember the time of the Hula
  Hoops, Poddle Skirts and Elvis Presley oh yes
  those were the good old days.Then came the 60s
  and I started to dream and dream I did some were
  even wet.
• 1966 I commenced to follow my dreams in 1967 I
  was in the USVI in 1969 with the assistance of
  Mr.Fonty of Geest Industries I landed A sailing
  Job aboard the MS. BRUNSHOEFT sailing the
  world.1972 I migrated to the Continental USA in
  search of my financial fortunes. America was
  going through a cultural revolution the Deep
  Throat revelation and the wiretapping
  controversies bring to mind Watergate, and a very
  unpopular war in Viet Nam which would play a
  vital role in my life.

A PROUD HONORABLE VIETNAM ERA VETERAN

• On January 15 1973 America was in search for few
  brave men to fight in Viet Nam.Without
  consideration I gave up the comforts of home and
  answered the call to combat. Looking back at
  yesteryear , I kinda appreciate more and
  more what a great thing   it was to be a United
  States Soldier. The Jane Fondas of America will
  tell you what a shame it was( they called us
  baby killers )
•    .   I am a proud Viet Nam Era Veteran and
  I'll be one till I die."   

3
My Army Scholarship

• The Army offered several opportunities to attend
  classes while serving as an Active Duty or Army
  Reserve Soldier. Whether it's in an accredited
  four-year universities across the nation, through
  an online university or in high-tech learning
  facilities on Army posts, the Army enabled us
  Soldiers to continue our educational growth And
  that is exactly what I did .In 1995 I graduated
  from Triton College of Nursing.

4
Early retirement

• In 1981 when I wasnt having wet dreams I was
  dreaming about retiring at age 40 but owing to
  the lack of positive advice I was unable to
  attain this goal. In 1992 I meet Ida Miller,
  Orest Burdiack and Paul Johnson better known as
  Mr. Conservative . I from them extracted a wealth
  of financial investment information that would
  pay dividends in the future for me.
• A few of us would like to retire early
  tomorrow, for example I had to wait a little
  longer. Thanks a million to the above names
  mentioned who showed me the tricks and
  encouragement, plus the fact that I was a good
  student when it came down to money management.( I
  stayed away from the hairy banks, night clubs and
  the department stores)

5
Hard work has it rewards

• Using dollar cost averaging, dividend
  reinvestment, participating in the TSP Program at
  work and a few real estate investment deals
  Sophia and I have realized our financial goal
  with over 7 figures in assets Soufriere folks,
  please dont cry for me theres no need for me
  to search for employment.
