Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, ``Life's most persistent and
urgent question is, `What are you doing for others?' '' Mr. Stembridge
undoubtedly lives by this philosophy. From his extensive work with the
CIA to protect our nation's security to his efforts to provide service
to the global community, his work has made a tremendous impact on the
lives of many.
