Born on the Fourth of July, he drew on a fierce work ethic learned on a World War II-era farm outside Chicago to propel him through his eventful and remarkable life. He overcame an early family upheaval and elusive educational success to attend an Ivy League univer…sity. Unsatisfied, he left school and hitchhiked West, where he worked as a roughneck in the Wyoming oil patch.

Its success allowed him to pursue his passion for making a difference in education, politics, philanthropy and community service. After his first marriage ended, he met and married his soulmate Marcy, whose journey before Bruce took her from Oklahoma to the White House, where she worked for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W.
