"Just a poor boy..."

The article presents information on Bruce Hendry, a businessman. Starting almost from scratch in 1976, Hendry has made around 5 million dollars for himself and quite a bit more for his clients. Money came the hard way to Hendry. A machinist's son from Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, he had little of it as a child. By the time he was a freshman at the University of Minnesota, Hendry had swapped his house for equity in a four-family building in Minneapolis and was hiring college students to do plasterboard-sanding jobs that he lined up.
