I could have my buddy Tom, who does medical helicopter transport, give a talk. He can put in to perspective the reasons why big is good. He can tell stories that will make you weep. He calls me once in a while when he has a bad day (his wife can't listen any more) His bad days usually involve kids and cars. He once had a day when an ATV and a car met on a road, 2 kids under 12 years old on the ATV, do I need to go on. Sam. Matthew S.
