Alan,

You are spot on with this. Especially about the part with ex-wives and family. Rayburn is an interesting charactor. After re-readiing my post, it may have sounded more mean spirited than I intended. My point, back in my day, he started out as a little shop.I was around when that first little brick building {and a few old pieces of equipment} that I believe is essentially his office now were the business. He made it, took alot of effort and time. As his customer base grew, so did he.
