The setting was the youth league baseball try-outs in the small town of Boland, New Hampshire. Also in attendance at the try-outs was John Harding, a hometown hero who, together with his wife, Sally, and their soon-to-be 8-year-old son, Rick, had only recently returned to Boland to settle down and begin John's tenure as the President and CEO of Millennium International, one of the largest computer companies in the country.

The next thing I was invited to a try-out in South Bend, Indiana.
