Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
From January 1972 to present day = 42+ Years .
What is your primary product or service?
We're a Charity helping children, churches and non-profit groups...plus the defenders of our freedoms.
We provide educational, motivational, inspirational and character building training via the Internet to children (of all ages) nationwide and worldwide. Along with that we provide education for the dignity of jobs to our Troops and Veterans. In living the Golden Rule we can't exclude anyone so we include everyone.
We're also helping millions of Americans with a free health-care card that's for real ... Visit http://www.goldenrulesociety.org/free-healthcare-card.htm to get what you need to protect you and your family... and save money.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a Navy combat fighter pilot I wanted to help the families of our KIAs, our POWs and our MIAs.
Too many friends in military service were in one of those categories.
I became the Founder and President of the Golden Rule Society during my career as a Navy Captain and then a PSA / USAirways Captain.
I’ll continue doing the charity work of the Lord as long as I am able.

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
I like what one gentleman said..."Len Kaine is not a Go Getter...He's a Go Giver."
That was heartwarming but two of the nicest compliments were nominations for the 2014 and the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize. Visit http://www.goldenrulesociety.org/nobel.htm
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
I researched the Golden Rule as it's written in the Books of the world's eight major religions.
I then compiled them into a simple modern version for all the world...
"Treat people the way you want to be treated, truthfully with dignity and respect."
And, our philosophy is also quite simple ... "To better the lives of others is your life's greatest reward".
