On Monday morning, I was reading Harvey Mackay’s column. He shared some background about a gentleman, named Gordon Dean, who began his career as a lawyer and served under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. I was intrigued when he said, “Dean died in a plane crash in 1958, and it’s said among his personal effects was an envelope with nine life lessons scribbled on the back.
