Life as a Hotel Student in the 1950's

In the 1950s, John embarked on a journey to become adept in hotel and business management, a path quite different from his son's eventual career as a cop. He benefited greatly from the mentorship of several distinguished teachers, each specializing in different facets of the hospitality industry, ranging from English to French and restaurant work.
