Conclusion

One final question. If students were to watch this tape and say, "Hey, I would like to do what he's doing and do those kinds of stories," do you have any advice for them as they prepare for their future?

If you want to do that then you should do that. It's all a matter of having the curiosity and the interest in wanting to pursue it. And knowing that the more you do it, the easier it becomes and the more you can accomplish. It's all very doable. If you want to bad enough, you probably will.

Well, on that positive note, we want to thank you very much for sharing your intellectual journey with us. Thank you.

Thank you.

And thank you very much for joining us for this Conversation with History.
