Jotown Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 So.......What about Nelson Mandella? Jotown:) "It's all good: Except when it's Great"
patrick_dont_fret Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 Didn't he die sometime recently? Or maybe that was someone else. I do know that Holiday Inn's own Kemmons Wilson died the other day...he was 90-something I think. My mom met him one time. Hmmm, Nelson Mandela....

Kemmons Wilson and his partner John Q. Hammons were great entrepreneurs and guys who's word was their bond. They didn't rely on a team of lawyers to make a business deal, a firm handshake and a verbal agreement was all they needed. They operated in an environment that is so different than today. :(

If you had a handshake from George, you could mortgage the house. Done deal. It's a shame that we've lost that in our culture. But lost it we have, nonetheless... --Dave Make my funk the P-funk.
