...when he was found to have a rare, lethal form of cancer that required the removal of his colon. But the young Chicagoan finished college, in spite of the additional burden of dyslexia, and became a successful computer salesman before starting his own mainframe business. By his mid-30s, he sold it off to begin what his family and friends thought would be a leisurely early retirement. When he told them he would cure cancer instead, they just laughed.
