   Oh yeah, Richard Herd was the best one. I thought for his age, as old   
   as my father in law (well my father in law is a year older at 76), he   
   spoke young, was energetic and humble and had a lot of stories.  It   
   was pretty cool meeting him.  Davis is overly concerned with money. I   
   was under the impression he already lost that and was on the next   
   deal.  apparently the guy either didn't learn or has a ton of money.   
   I can't figure out why he was there!   
      
   I should have talked to Walcott and Lesser. I did lose out.  I did   
   have a long conversation with another person there (he was a horse   
   trainer) and that was a lot of fun even though I am not into all that,   
   I love animals and I learned something from him about animals and   
   training them to calm down.  That was invaluable and wish I'd of   
   learned that years ago when I had a problem cat.
