I waited to read about the phone call, if it came.
Naturally I would have gone into a related story of how a certain government established a price they would pay for steel imports, and independents who paid more on the 'spot market' were closed down. Wal-Mart and Rubbermaid same style thing, where $$ offered by WM was less than product cost, with alternative being WM would not purchase anything. Guess which country purchased the Rubbermaid equipment when they went under? I'm not making this stuff up!
Not really wanting to hear if one crew member got the axe, the whole boat has been affected in not a good way. I think we share Dad's pain.
