The highest salaried guy I know as a close friend, a recent retiree, earned more than $500,000 a year at his job. He's a lit and history grad of the University of Notre Dame. I know dozens and dozens of liberal arts grads earning well over $100,000 a year. As far as I know, none were trained by the Navy. "Self praise sucks" Harry Krause 2012. |

I don't recall the exact numbers, since the boat store sale was close to four decades ago, but like most boat dealers, my dad floorplanned his boat and motor inventory. He certainly didn't have $3 million of his own money tied up in that stuff for many reasons, the most likely being he didn't have $3 million in cash assets. Ask some responsible adult you might know how floor planning works. Crikey, the "intellectual" level in here, as presented by you and most of your buddies, is just appalling. You DID have a good idea, though, when you said that someone had researched the NYFD to see if your father did get a fireboat welcome! I think I will! No need to do that...just ask your wife, the one you claimed was an "excellent" researcher, even though it was obvious she couldn't find a 7-11 in a phone book. Oh, wait...even though you claim you aren't Loogy and what you write and what passes for your thoughts are the same as Loogy's, and you claim you don't live in Georgia, like Loogy, and you claim you don't have a wife and daughter, and you're not JustSnotty's ying-yang butt brother, you aren't capable of doing real research, either. Go play with the other numnutz boys here, little boy. |

Yes, I'm *sure* your "two friends in the NYFD" are going to be able to find detailed records of every non-important event involving NYC fireboats that occurred half a century ago. D'oh. Better ask Loogy's genius wife, eh? |

The only people they are allowed to discuss this with is their direct leader and HR. They know their direct report's salaries, of course, as they are involved with reviewing them and adjusting their compensation. |

When you get to the level Harry's sweetheart is, they publish her salary on the internet. Talk about invasion of privacy. |
