Editor’s Note:  A friend and I were talking about doing good and he said, “of course, you’ve read Paul Newman’s book about how he and his buddy, Hotch, got the salad dressing foundation started”.  I responded that I’ve studied, even visited the foundation’s directors to learn about what they do, I had not.  What a light, fun read about my favorite subject:  pursuing good and fun at the same time.  Enjoy.

Favorite excerpt:  ***“There are three rules for running a business; fortunately, we don’t know any of them.”***
