Nearly sixty years ago, Ranvir Trehan came to America for graduate study for a year. He was newly married and in debt. This is the story of his life. He stayed on and worked on the cutting edge of computer and network technologies, became a successful entrepreneur, engaged in philanthropy, and received a distinguished Presidential appointment. But most of all, it is a human interest story of a boy growing up without his father till he was six; of a newly married couple adjusting to each other after an arranged marriage; of learning to live in a new country; of raising two accomplished daughters in a culture very different from the one he grew up in; of extensive travels; of active participation in many sports and hobbies; and most of all, of living life to its fullest. It also acknowledges those who made this improbable journey possible.
