Re: Midrange-NonTech digest, Vol 1 #16 - 5 msgs

Chris,

not saying it would not have happened anyways, just
KNEW it would with GB, JR.  I survived (barely)
Reaganomics and GB (both of them) are the same chip
off the same block.  It's just amazing that it
happened so FAST!!! but then if you can control FL
with your brothers help (by the way remember the S&L
scandal, Jeb was a big part of that, except he didn't
go to jail like Marvin Warner!!!) I guess anythings
possible
