A chance return to an all-time favorite song, “The Sultans of Swing,” by Dire Straits,  got Bill Whittle thinking about the extraordinary life he has led, which also brought him to the realization about the incredible life all of us have led.

“I think about the time I grew up in America, at the time I grew up in, makes me the luckiest guy in the world,” Whittle says. “We are the first generation in history to never be hungry, never be cold and never to be in pain for anything longer for the length of time it took to get you to a hospital,” Whittle said.

Whittle’s “Right Angle” colleagues, Stephen Green and Scott Ott, join in to share their thoughts.
