I'm an old country boy that has been a subscriber for almost 50 years and is not sure exactly what these three new folks are going to be doing. But in the event anyone there at Forbes is interested in a great story, I have an idea that I would be glad to explain, either by phone at 573-694-1682 or by email at the above address.
