One very calm, cool man - George Ross

next time we meet, I will tell you the story of why George Ross became a partner at Goldman entirely because he know how to play my fatherHopefully Dean will be with us and we can share this amazing taleThe best part is what was said to him at a DickThornberg fundraiser by someone at his table that he beat out when Shapp was governor.It was said to him with all the wives at the tableGeorge gamed my father to give him virtually ALL the financial business of the State of Pennsylvania for 8 years by offering better service and lower feesIt deeply harmed many of the banks run by the WASPS who never forgave my dadOne of them blocked his membership to the Phila racquet club.when my turn came up, they had to let me in because I was the 4th best squash player, and the best court Tennis player in the United States. A preview of what was said to George that included these words: "you mother fucking, cocksucking Jew" And the best part: George's expression did not change!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
