Two very interesting stories. I'm glad Mr. Powell, and all but one of his crew got back alive, and I'm sorry Jock's "better-half", was insulted by an employee of an employer, who obviously doesn't care who, or what, works for him. Trust me, the NBLR, and N.O.W., will teach you proper communication skills, in short order, too! My gripe with FORD lies with the "Ford Foundation", which contributed $300,000.00 to Ken Hechler, an "environmentalist whacko", here in WV, to try and put a stop to "Mountain Top Removal", Surface Mining. I bet Ol' Henry flipped and flopped in his grave, over that one! Most of the Coal Company Officials in the Mountain State, ride GM Products now. Ford Trucks just won't hold up like GMC's and Chevy's do, in the Business of running parts to the Surface Mines, in WV, and Ky, where the roads are extremely rough. At least, not for my Business. Like I said, I bought one Ford, but no more. That's not to say they are an inferior product, overall. Just won't stand the abuse, as opposed to GM, in my little segment of the Business. Later--HUBBARD
