About 1955.
I got my first address book and Dad's entry, in his great handwriting was "Improvement leads to success..." I've remembered that through everything I've ever done. I think he was giving me a hint that I didn't have to "invent" something new for everything, as that was about the time that I wanted to be an inventor.
