I'm gonna ask your indulgence on two things.

It's allergy season, so I have a real hard time

And two, most of the speaking I do when I walk up to the podium

It deals with cyber crime and identity theft, forgery,

embezzlements, and things of that nature.

But Google has asked me today to do something different

And then at the end, of course, I'll take questions.

And those questions can be about any subject matter

As you know, I've had a lot of people tell my story.

I had a great movie director write a film about my life.

I had a great Broadway musical team make a Tony Award-winning

"White Collar," for four years created around my life.

But they've enjoyed telling my story from their point of view.

So I thought I would take a few minutes this morning

and actually tell you the story from my point of view.

I was raised just north of New York City in Westchester

in the family, the so-called middle child of the four.

I was educated there by the Christian Brothers of Ireland

Iona where I went to school from kindergarten to high school.

By the time I had reached the age of 16, in the 10th grade,

my parents after 22 years of marriage one day

Unlike most divorces where the children were usually

I remember being in the 10th grade when the father walked

in the classroom one afternoon, asked a brother

When I came out in the hallway, the father handed me my books

in White Plains, New York where I would meet my parents,

and they would explain what was going on.

I remember the brother dropped me at the steps of a big stone

building and told me to go on up the steps

where my parents would be waiting for me in the lobby.

I remember climbing the steps, seeing a sign on the building

But I really didn't understand what that meant.

When I arrived in the lobby, my parents were not there.

But I was ushered into the back of an immense courtroom

where my parents were standing before a judge.

I couldn't hear what the judge was saying, nor my parents'

But eventually, the judge saw me at the back of the room

So I walked up the stand in between my parents.

I remember distinctly that the judge never looked at me.

He never acknowledged I was standing there.

He simply read from his papers and said that my parents

So I turned and ran out of the courtroom.

But by the time my parents got outside, I was gone.

My mother never saw me again for about seven years until I

was a young adult. Contrary to the movie,

my father never saw me or ever spoke to me again.

In the mid-1960s, running away was a very popular thing

A lot of them got caught up in Haight-Ashbury, the hippie

Instead, I took a few belongings from my home,

packed them in a bag, boarded what was then the New Haven

and Hartford railroad for the short train ride

down to Grand Central Terminal in New York.

My father did own a stationary store in Manhattan.

It was located on the corner of 40th and Madison.

Like all of us, we had to work in that store.

So from the time I was about 13, I made deliveries

So naturally, I started looking for the same type of work.

There were a lot of signs on the windows-- stock
