Donald Duncanson -- A Self-made Man

With such an impressive resume of industry accolades and achievements, it's difficult to believe that Duncanson once thought that he might not amount to much in life.

"I had a teacher tell me that I shouldn't bother with college because it would be a waste of my time," remembers Duncanson.

So after graduation at the age of 17, Duncanson enlisted in the U.S. Navy. "I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I thought that the Navy might help me find some direction in my life." For the next three years, Duncanson served as a clerk typist on an aircraft carrier.
