He himself was a great businessman. His kids on the other hand... Sam's philosophy like someone said before was that he took care of his employees and the customers. His kids, last experience I had with them was that they were only after expanding and growing the Wal-Mart corporation. I used to work for Sam's Club back in '90/91. Not specificly by choice per se. Rather, I worked for the old "Wholesale Club" which was eventually bought out by Sam's/Wal-Mart. Ahh, the memories of looking at the $4000 pc's that were on the sales floor and wishing I could get one.... Shawn
