Sergei Krikalev 11. Alexey Leonov 12. Wally Schirra He did a training film in customer service we had to watch when I worked for (Ross Perot’s former company) EDS. It was a narration that anybody with a clear voice could have done of a paint by the numbers ‘The customer is the reason for your business so don’t call them a “big fat stupid bastard with bad breath” to their face [even if they are]’ common sense type thing. The only thing I took away from the film was “Why, with all the people who would have narrated that for $500 and felt overpaid for it, did Ross want Wally, and how much did he have to pay him?”. ---

Apologies for above- I confused the last post on the last page for the one currently in play. Colleagues of Martin Luther King, Jr. 1. Andrew Young 2. Ralph Abernathy 3. Corretta Scott King 4. Bayard Rustin Rustin was very significant in the organization of the SCLC, but as he was openly gay and openly Communist his contributions had to be largely back-burnered during the '50s. ---

Alfred Daniel Williams King MLK’s brother, called A.D., also a minister and a frequent aid to his brother and proposed by some as the next head of the SCLC, though A.D. had no interest in it. He was with MLK when he was killed in Memphis and in fact moments before had been in a pillow fight with him. A.D. drowned in the swimming pool of his Atlanta home a year after MLK’s death; the death was ruled an accident but many found it suspicious. Next up: Up for Grabs ---
