On Thanksgiving, I know Harry Krause is sooo thankful for:
A wife with 3 doctorates All of those wonderful boats (Zimerman-like lobster boat, Hatteras, etc.) An Ivy League degree from Yale An adventurous life (rounding the Horn twice, sailing the Pacific, etc.) Witnessing his dad's fireboat welcome into New York Harbor Knowing every president since Truman A stellar career as hack for a scrupulously honest labor union A business career of unparalleled success Etc. Etc. Etc. All the best to you Harry. We're so proud. ~George |

In Krausie's own words: "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." |

Well, I was referring to the whole shopping center, but I suppose it could be the WalMart. |

Well, I was referring to the whole shopping center, but I suppose it could be the WalMart. From his quote "near full-retail". "Near" is relative. If a bullet strikes "near" your body it's probably not at serious as if it struck "near" your heart. |
