could have ever wanted. He was a tall young man, with a healthy.

Muscular body. He was a member of the university football team.

Apart from that he had a well-paying job as a sales manager for a

chemical company. He also had a loving wife and a faithful dog

whose company he enjoyed very much.

Q3.Why do you think Hooper’s appointment as Assistant National

Manager is considered to be a tribute to Duke?

was not going to limit his aspirations and his ability to achieve his

goals.
