He was known as the man with the "silver bullet," a person who could accomplish things "mere mortals" couldn't. Some few colleagues from the home office were even vaguely suspicious of his successes, implying there might be some underhanded or tricky aspect to his victories on behalf of the company. I remember saying to Buck once, "If they could observe you closely, as I do, and see your methods, they would understand that the "trick" is diligence, old-fashioned hard work,refusal to accept failure, and refusal to quit until all obstacles are moved aside and the task is 110% complete. That's your trick."Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579979064302832829noreply@blogger.com
