A look into the life of a Tampa Bay philanthopist and former Chariman of the U.S Chamber of Commerce. Michael Great book. I have read many books on business and the lives of their subjects, this one is a great combination of a biography and a way to pass on some of the knowledge he has picked up along the way. Coming from the Tampa Bay area it was great to read about a leader in the community.

It is well written, I was able to go through it in 2 days, never bored with it.. A great story of life and what you make of it. Lumber guy Great book. It should be a required reading book in every high school. What a rags to riches story and what a nice and generous couple.
