I remembered him as a man who knew what he wanted and didn’t deviate an inch from his goal. Every minute of his life was devoted to becoming the richest printer in Louisiana, and maybe in the world. He lived in a bachelor apartment above the shop so that he wouldn’t lose any time traveling to and from work. He worked from morning till night, six days a week. On Sundays he did his paperwork, if there wasn’t a rush job on one of the presses. He had his meals upstairs, hurriedly cooked to save time.
