I suppose it helped that my family had role models, people who had worked their way up in one generation after another, some as coal miners or cops, some as inventors or public speakers - and whether successful or not, none left the Church.
My grandfather was offered the Church, but chose the coal mines instead. My dad always said when he joined the force in 1956, given that they were union men, you couldn't find a Republican in the NYPD; by the time he retired in 1986, you couldn't find a Democrat.
