Never said that. Yes you did. Krausie typed with his own fat fingers: “His operation was the largest small boat dealership in its area of New England, and for 30 years, he was the *exclusive* Evinrude dealer in a densely populated coastal county. He also handled Mercuries. He never liked Bayliners, and referred to them as "jerry-built." “From 1947 until he died, he sold more than 500 outboard motors a year from his stores, accounting for a reasonably high percentage of *all* outboards sold in his home state for those years. “ Typing with his fat little fingers and writing of his “accomplishments” after his father’s death: “I sold off nearly $3,000,000 in new motors and boats, depressing the new boat industry in southern Connecticut for an entire season. Everything was sold...every cotter pin, every quart of oil, 30 days after I started. For near full-retail, too. “ That latter is what enabled Krause to buy that gorgeous house with the quarter mile driveway and the 'Maryland Red' barn. WAFL!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - But John, didn't he donate the proceeds to charity? He said that so it must be true. Well, maybe that's why the barn is on his neighbor's property, along with the non-existent quarter-mile driveway. It's got to be narcissism. There is no other explanation for lies like that. -S Wonder if the plum has any barn stories? |
