...born in Rome, where his father, Major General James L. Collins, was military attache, and he grew up in Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. After attending St. Albans, a prep school in Washington, he went to West Point, excelling in soccer, wrestling and tennis, and finishing 216th in the class of 1952, a year after Aldrin. Not even Collins' closest friends at the academy knew until senior year that he was the nephew of General J. Lawton ("Lightning Joe") Collins, famed World War II commander of the 25th ("Tropic Lightning") Division on Guadalcanal, leader of the breakthrough...

Decio himself is worth at least $70 million.* The son of an Italian immigrant grocer, he grew up in Elkhart next to the railroad tracks. When he was 21, he went to work in the garage behind the grocery store, where his father built mobile homes in his spare time. Later, Decio invested his savings of $3,200, talked friends into putting up $7,000, and began to introduce some method into what was then a helter-skelter industry.
