Cal Maritime Centennial Campaign LEADING THE WAY
When I talk about leadership to cadets, I mention the Alaskan Dog Sled. And I always comment, the lead dog has the best view.
Leaders in all sectors who are looking for oppor- tunities as I did to make a great investment in the future should look, like I did, at Cal Maritime and
the quality of young people it attracts. Our gifts will provide bene ts that will outlive us. Libby and I know it and enjoy knowing the impact that the cadets we support will have on the futur”es of their professions, families, and communities.
