There were actually only 2 that I was really able to develope a personal relationship with. The first one, was about 10 years older. I was doing well in business and I would always slip him a HUNDRED Dollar bill each visit. He knew it was from the heart and had nothing to do with his position. He didn't wear very nice clothes and I felt sorry for him. He eventually got out of the Co business and became a used car salesman in Ohio.
The other one was 20 years older than I. He'd play golf with a few of us, just a 4 some. he enjoyed his booze, never over imbibed, just got mellow and talkative with us. We always made a point of being on the list for dinners with them. He chose who he would take dinners with and always took OUR invite. He truly appreciated a FINE meal and we never disappointed him. Most of the elders and dubs were in FEAR of him. He had a demeanor that let on like he would chew them up, but I knew better. Kindest Co I ever met. I would also slip him a HUNDRED Dollar bill.
