[DMCForum] Re: Continued: Henry Ford

["Flavia" <frvianna@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bill-

I didn't know the bad things about Henry Ford, I guess they were 
rather personal. Being a public person, even back then, people are 
curious to learn more about his private life. Again, in a business 
perspective he taught lessons that have influenced people all over 
the world and it will keep on doing it for more generations. 
You know much more about him than I do, maybe I'll try watching the 
movie.
As for the dreams, like Lauren, I'll try tonite.
