Very good meme Vlad!

I have always great admiration for Ross Perot.
In different ways he was the Donald Trump of his time.

I had forgotten about that, thanks for the reminder.

He was quite the “man’s man” wasn’t he?

And I don’t mean that in a derogatory manner.

I remember that.

EDS was HQ’d in Dallas.

It was a Texas-sized rescue mission that we were all aware of and proud of.

I've read Ken Follett. Thanks Vlad..

Greg LLes

I highly recommend “On Wings of Eagles,” Ken Follet’s real-life thriller recounting Ross Perot’s rescue of two of his EDS employees held hostage in Iran in 1979. True American commitment, bravery, and follow-through—recounted by a British master of his craft.

RossPerot died today at 89. Here are some of his musings.....

If you see a snake, just kill it - don't appoint a committee on snakes.

Inventories can be managed, but people must be led.

Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.

My friend Ross Perot died in Dallas last night, a couple of weeks past his 89th birthday. A great man and a fun guy. I learned so much from him. RIP, buddy. RossPerot.
