Jacob V. Heimark, a Short Biography The author has had many different work experiences. Among them are: · Nineteen years as a working farmer’s son. · 12 years on Navy warships at sea. · Three assignments to command warships · 7 years in 8 countries as a senior diplomat. · 16 years working in the field of computers. · 14 years in the field of Economic Forecasting. · Helped raise 5 children. All college graduates. The shipboard role of all the officers, from junior ensign to ship’s captain, was to motivate, inspire, lead and train young sailors, at least half of whom were teen-agers, to be highly effective shipmates, all ready to reach for the stars. These were the experiences that showed this author how 410,000 teenage high school dropouts a year in our country could be greatly reduced. This book’s purpose is to motivate those who fail to realize they can achieve far better than they do. Captain Jacob V. Heimark, US Navy, retired
