I remember hearing Dr. Swor at Glorietta,NM, in 1954 at a large group of college students. He was a wonderful motivational speaker for young people. I purchased one of his autographed books. After college, I became a teacher in the Dallas ISD, and then, after more post-grad work, I became a high school counselor. I used his teaching many times in talking with students.
