Reply #38: I don't know. He never said anything except his religion forbad killing [View All]

any animal.

He was soo radical about that belief, when he built his $2.5 million house, he wouldn't let them treat the lumber for termites because it would kill the bugs! We were all in a meeting at our warehouse one day, and a wasp was flying around the table. Everybody in the room wanted to swat it, but knew better because the boss was there! Then, very quietly, the boss got up from his chair, stepped over and captured the wasp very gently in the cup of his hand, wleked over to the door, and released it to the outside. That's just the way he was.

He was a pretty nice guy, and business smart too, so we all just went along with his preferences.

It was an interesting 6 years while I worked there.
