However, in an age of s+riking figures and spec+acular evenfs, we are ap+ fo overlook fhe value of fhe individual. We forge+ momenfarily, as resounding names ring in our ears, fhaf +he persislence and devofion of each anonymous worker, each nameless soldier, cumula+ively is more laslingly eliledive lhan fhe power of any one person. As you approach your work in fhe world, whafever if may be, do noi' minimize your own imporlance io lhe whole. The +ask you do honeslly, sincerely, and eFFicien+ly will assure your happiness in +he beH'er world we are frying +o make. John M. Loughran 3
