*Dear Craig,*
*
*
*You sound like a very nice chap and deserve better than what is going to
happen.*
*But I feel a little like the warden in Cool Hand Luke who said*
*to Paul Newman after his jailbreak "what we have here is a*
*failure in communication"*
*Craig what I and others suggested to you was that this did not have*
*a hope in heck.*
*We couldn't tell you what exactly would go wrong only that it*
*would be something major.*
*We didn't want so see you lose your money.*
*You are one of us!*
*We aren't old guys who expect the worst in people just old*
*guys who have been around the block once or twice.*
*Old guys who don't like to lose their money.*
*When I speak of old I'm just speaking for me I'm 64.*
*I was surprised that you considered the deal in first place*
*but I was ASTONISHED you went ahead after we all said "run a mile".*
*This one in terms of risk was a 10 out of 10.*
*I am very perplexed as to why you would do this.*
*No Craig you did not do your homework.*
*Homework is assessing everything in the dealer including the seller.*
*Take care,*
*
*

*Bernie*
