I read Mitch Dunford's article in IJ and thought it was excellent, including the reference to Dr. Seuss. Character, integrity, and honesty are behaviors that are typically learned in childhood. Those people who disrespect the Dr. Seuss reference obviously have missed the lesson. One thing that I can add to the article and this discussion is that the correct Dr. Seuss story is "Horton Hatches the Egg". I read Mitch's article and ordered the book to give to my grandson who will one day take over my agency. When I discovered the error, I ordered the correct book title noted above. Apparently Bernie Madoff thought it was a silly children's book, too.

Mitch Dunford "...meant what he said and said what he meant..." and I agree with him 100 percent.
