Blake's America

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Success combined with a long life supplies the liberty to pursue happiness. Consider the 106-year life of S. Prestley "Pres" Blake, co-founder of East Coast restaurant chain Friendly's. Business success allowed him to pursue interests from the traditional (philanthropy and investing) to the luxurious (yachting, collecting Rolls-Royces, and taking the Concorde on the 24-day around-the-world journey) to the eccentric (sleeping in an igloo at the North Pole and flying over the North Pole and the South Pole on a single Pam Am flight.).
