Artifact of the Week 20241206 - Perot Oral History

Originally, he was named Henry Ray, but he changed his middle name to Ross in honor of his older brother, Gabriel Ross, who died as a young child. Thereafter, he went by Ross Perot. Even though he was irritated by the practice, journalists often included his first initial in media reports, naming him H. Ross Perot. Based on an oral history recording produced by the National Scouting Museum in 2006, today we will hear from Perot about the influence one person, and Scouting had in nearly every aspect of his life.
