Love this american dream story between opportunity and mission as well as its great family insights.

Would be great to also have one on that boys & girls club where the whole idea was invented and what else they might have come up in the 80s.

The "invent a game with cups" at least is a great hint towards motivating kids (on a different level than actually competing in the resulting game) close to a Sesame Street kind of mindset from back then and might deserve a story on its own for "hacking" cups into being toys and even a sport in the end.
