Frank Dorrance Hopley (1872-1933) wrote a number of boy's books and authored stories and articles for national magazines and newspapers. In 1921, Hopley had an idea for an article--he would ask famous individuals to share their life's most thrilling moment. William Hays, U.S. Postmaster General, was unable to answer at the time due to his work load.
