Re: OT - I finally found my huge Britannica Atlas

((We had friends who worked for Bell Helicopter in Iran when the Shah
of Iran
was over thrown way back in the, I think it was the 70s))

Susan, I remember that time. I was working in San Francisco for EDS,
Ross Perot's company. He had to send in his ex Green Beret employees to
rescue some of his executives in Iran. From what I've read, he'd tried
the official route to get them out but had no help from our State
Department. The lower level employees did get out, but just barely, and
like you said with just the clothes on their back.

Ever since that time, Ross Perot has been a hero of mine. I still
think if we had elected him our President, the country would now be in
much better shape. Of course, that's just one very biased woman's
opinion.
