Twenty-nine isn’t that young. I was vice-president and general manager of a company at that age. Though I remember back in the day we were told to not trust anyone over 30. Later, I learned to not trust anyone UNDER thirty. LOL

Thomas Jefferson selected a 29 year old named Meriwether Lewis to handle some business for him. He managed things pretty well.

Indeed, but you notice the same guys put a 35 year-old minimum for the presidency.

Paul told Timothy not to let others chide him for his youth. Yeah but what he meant was don't do something stupid because he was young and they wouldn't give him any slack. :-)

As long as he doesn’t wear black masks, carry a bat, and throw teargas back at police in his spare time. It’s OK by me.
But I still won’t buy any Heinz products after the ownership change on general principles.

How about conquering Persia? Of course, that was a long time ago.

George Custer was appointed brigadier general at age 23.
His 5th cousin, Galusha Pennypacker was the youngest brigadier general, at age 20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galusha_Pennypacker
Hmmm, I wonder if he is related to H.E. Pennypacker, wealthy industrialist?

First Barbary War: On the night of 16 February 1804,
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur (then 25 years old) led a small detachment of U.S. Marines aboard the captured Tripolitan ketch rechristened USS Intrepid, thus deceiving the guards on USS Philadelphia to float close enough to board her. Decatur's men stormed the ship and overpowered the Tripolitan sailors. With fire support from the American warships, the Marines set fire to USS Philadelphia, denying her use by the enemy. British admiral, Horatio Nelson, himself known as a man of action and courage, reportedly called this "the most bold and daring act of the age."
He is the youngest man to reach the rank of captain in the history of the United States Navy. He served under three presidents, and played a major role in the early development of the American navy.

Krafts products are AWFUL.
They are Frankenstein products, twisted over years into their present form by food-science in the service of marketing and manufacturing efficiency.
One example - Toblerone Chocolate used to be a premium and fantastic Swiss chocolate. Kraft has owned it for 25 years, and it is now closer to brown wax in a cheap triangular yellow box than its previous distinctive quality and unique packaging.

By that age I was working deals in the Middle East and Asia. Twenty nine isn’t nineteen.
