Title: john dorman aka mr.wonderful


1
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. A very
    unpopular war in Viet Nam which would play a
    vital role in my life.

2
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 4 us 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 enables Soldiers to continue their
    educational growth And that is exactly what I did
    .In 1995 I graduated from Triton College of
    Nursing.

4
Early retirement
  • In 1980 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.. 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
    theres no need for me to search for employment.
    Dont cry for me Saint Lucia.
