But in an interview Monday in Hong Kong, Mr. Nohria dismissed the idea that either his appointment or his trip signals that one of the top U.S. business schools is about to open a fully fledged campus overseas. “I don’t think that is necessary and nor do we have the ambition to do that,” he said. “We’re in the business of chasing knowledge and not chasing demand.”
I am a Vietnam Veteran and post Vietnam retired vet that grew up with 18 sibbling, one mon one dad. My Dad was a 6 time decorated WW2 Veteran. We all grew up in Portland Oregon. My Mom and Dad were very giving people. I can remember my mom making sack lunch for the homeles Hobo that hoppped the frieght trains between Portland and Seattle. They always New Where they could get a meal. I can remember when I was seven, My dad running into a burning house and pulling my friends mother out when the fire department had given up on her. I remember them taking in a family of 6 when they loss thier farm in Battleground Washington. They probably,only stayed a couple months but when youre 7or 8 years old the months felt like a life time. Both my Parents pass at the ripe old age of 56, My Mom of Diabetes brought on from 20 years of justational diabetes from sponding children over 2 decades. My dad passed away as well at the ripe old age of 56 from the developement of hodgekins decease that was probaly lenghth to the bombs the were dropped on Heroshima and Nagasiki to end the Great war. I myself have suffered from non-hodgkins, I’ve had huge thymoma removed that left me with a decease called Myasthenia Gravis both conditions Have been presume to have been caused by exposure to Agent Orange while serving in the Republic of Vietnam but i do just fine.
