I t r i e d to figure out the fu ture for myself, I would have made a miserable failure out of it,” observed Paul R. Goodman, fast-grow
ing Southern California builder. Re flecting on his success in the field of contracting over the past decade, he declares, “ The glory all belongs to the Lord.” Goodman has built more than 25 motels in the Pacific South west region, as well as managing them for a business concern. On the average, two such structures are built yearly. As head of Goodman Construction Company in La Habra, he is also the director of Missionary Enterprises, a non-profit organization. Starting ten years ago with a relatively small mis sionary program, the' Lord has en abled him to increase it to more than a score invested in Gospel causes. Paul Goodman was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, one of five children. He reflects: “ I can’t remember when I didn’t have a hammer in my hand. My father was a builder. It was only natural that I should follow in his footsteps.” While still comparatively young, Paul began his own business until he entered the armed forces as a supply line pilot in India. “ It was Ray Myers who gave me my first job when I got out of the service in 1946,” Mr. Goodman re calls. “ I shall ever be grateful to him for his kindness.”
