X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>It&rsquo\;s not so important how you fall\
 , but what matters is how you get back up. It&rsquo\;s also not so importa
 nt to watch those around you\, but more to run your own race\, and let the
 m watch you.&nbsp\; Those thoughts are at the heart of why Kenneth Serfass
  has admired Ulysses S. Grant since his elementary school days.</p>\n<p>Wh
 en you sit down with US Grant\, you will be encouraged to openly discuss t
 he life lessons that formed the most successful general in our history\, a
 nd a man who was admired in his own time even more than Abraham Lincoln.&n
 bsp\;</p>\n<p>In this encounter\, US Grant will tell you how his reactions
  and decisions as a boy and young officer shaped the man he became and how
  those same incidents that led to those decisions were all part of a great
 er destiny than any of us could decide for ourselves to lead a &ldquo\;saf
 e and good&rdquo\; life. US Grant was a reluctant leader in many situation
 s\, but time and again proved up to the task. This discussion will focus o
 n much of that experience.</p>\n<p>Popular myth in our age has distorted t
 he truth about Grant in many instances\, and Ken&rsquo\;s program is meant
  to give the guests a better understanding of who Grant really was by brin
 ging him to life so they can interact with him as friends to learn more ab
 out who he really is.</p>\n<p><strong>About the presenter:</strong></p>\n<
