Letter to the Editor or Op Ed Submission – Our Nation needs Treatment – 9/20/18 Our nation is plagued by several unsolved major systemic problems.

I have been fortunate to have been quite successful in all of my chosen professions… law, teaching, business broker, entrepreneur, and mentor to many.  Learned a lot, made some mistakes … such is life.
