We ate lunch today with his father in law. I just tell you what -- I felt really, really honored to be sitting there with him. Every bit of expectation I had about the genuineness of the fellow was just met and surpassed. And, Sam was a real delight to meet. I'll never enjoy a Steak & Shake meal as much as I did today. It was really a pleasure to sit down with my friend, and I smiled to myself all the way back to my office. His fellow laborers in Hawai'i are blessed (and I know he feels that way about them). When we all get to heaven, I know at least one more guy on my "I wanna talk to this fella for a couple of millenium" list.
