There was also a person from India who arrived in the USA at 20 years old with $9.00 he earned his doctorate, his father did also and his brother is a ship building engineer in Norway. He was very dynamic and moving. When Ben Stein was asked a question about Trailer Home Parks he said ask the one running the show, he did answer many important questions from the audience. Like if state pensions were safe, he said NY was. My wife and I were at afternoon show, paid tickets, got his book and photo with him. For those of us who know Ben Stein from his appearances on Cavuto on Business he was very good. Very open and friendly in the photo sessions, wanted to know where you wew from. People ahead of us went to Blair High School at same time he did, brought their year books. ignored the sales pitch. But have to go to Tricon Investments for a copy of the picture. They think retired people here don't know how to invest. If they didn't they would not be able to live in The Villages.
He is said to come back 30-31 Jan, but I think he will make a bit of an appearance then leave. I am not interest in new financial advisors.
