Mark Whitacre is a seasoned executive who is extremely appreciative of redemption and second chances in America. I thank God for a second chance ! Blessed to keep my family intact during some very difficult times in the mid-1990s. An amazing wife of 43 years, who held everything together during some tremendous adversity. I don’t take that lightly. I thank God every day for my wife, Ginger!
