Jed/Eric...that's very interesting about the old-timer you know and the "235 drag-boats" he used to build. You don't happen to have a contact for that fellow do you?
BTW...this is way off topic,,,but have any of you heard Ken Lay's conviction for fraud was overturned on account of his "death"? A 2004 ruling by the 5th Circuit Federal appeals court allowed his lawyers to clear his name on 10 counts of fraud. The timing of the 04 ruling and his death is sooo coincidental. His family gets to keep the $45 million or so he helped steal from some banks and California...and I thought only Mexican drug kingpins faked their deaths...maybe when he was in that Aspen hospital (Colin Powell was there at the exact same day for "altitude sickness")he actually got plastic surgery!
Anyway, Eric...if you have a contact I'd be really happy to speak to your fellow. Thanks.
