The year is 1959 and Bruce is a sixteen-year-old high school student, a respected and tough jock. Three events took place during high school that identified and clarified what Bruce thought of as his vision and his mission. Two of these events took place on the football field and the other occurred during a Civics Class field trip to the United Nations in New York City.

He wasn’t fully aware of it at the time but being an athlete and a tough jock presented many opportunities to test what he believed. He had opportunities to examine his courage and his convictions, and he could make choices to move forward or quit. These experiences laid the groundwork and advanced his mission.

He was sixteen, six foot four inches tall and he weighed one hundred eighty-five pounds. People thought he was older than he was. Sometimes this helped. He was a formidable opponent and often used his physical size to his advantage, especially on the football field or in the boxing ring while he focused on intimidating his opponents. He was mentally tough and a strong leader on and off the field.
