Chapter 1: Genes and Geography, The Creation of Character

When my father, Clarence James McCormick, died on January 30, 1983, news of his passing made the front page of the Knox County Daily News, along with a story of his life that occupied one-third of page seven. His obituary also appeared in the Indianapolis Star and Indianapolis News and several other state and regional publications. His death was picked up by the UPI wire service and noted nationwide in such newspapers as the New York Times, the Courier-Journal (Louisville), and the Tribune (San Diego)…

How does a man from a tiny rural Indiana community come to be such an important national figure, a part of the president's staff? Anyone who knew my dad would never wonder at that. Reaching for high goals was part of his nature. It was something bred into him from childhood, something that was an intrinsic part of his family makeup. It was also something that he passed along to his children, for which I am profoundly grateful.

My brothers and I learned so much from our parents, and are living examples of the successful blending of nature and nurture. There surely is more to what a person becomes, what they make of themselves, that is beyond the combination of genes and environment. I believe that true success requires courage, creativity, and determination, as well as a willingness to work really hard for what you want. I was fortunate to learn these traits from my family, but ultimately, what I made of my life was up to me alone.
