(one individual will walk with a limp for the rest of his life due to the union leaders car, which...lost control and ran him over!)<BR/>everything has the oportunity to take a bad turn..welcome to life...but fair is fair. it's what we all should hope for...and expect otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-1126097075395950642005-09-07T08:44:00.000-04:002005-09-07T08:44:00.000-04:00My dad did a few months with Burnett's back in the...My dad did a few months with Burnett's back in the 80's, after Phillips/Magotbox screwed he and mom.
