[Rhodes22-list] Roger

[Brad Haslett]

Wally,

Roger probably did stress out about being unemployed, but when I offered him
an audience (offlist) to present his ethanol 'improvements' to the retired
#3 at ADM (with the implied straight-ticket to the CEO), the largest ethanol
producer in the US, he balked.  He either wasn't that unemployed or didn't
really have something to present.  That's not a slam.  It just re-enforced a
long held belief - you can't help someone who isn't willing to help
themselves. I miss him on the list and hope he's doing well.

Brad
