#24 Frank Wills

Ever heard of Frank Wills?  Probably not.  But Frank’s diligence in doing his job 40 years ago started a chain of events that influenced our nation.

Frank was a security guard at the Watergate office building and was the one who saw a taped latch during the break-in at the Democratic Headquarters.  He is the one who called the police, which summoned a reporter, which lead to…well, you know the rest.

What if Frank hadn’t been conscientious?  What if he hadn’t noticed the tape, or decided in his mind that it was a little thing that didn’t matter? 

I am more and more convinced that there are no big things.  Everything is a collection of little dots that are strung together to have consequences.  Pay attention to the dots; they matter.
