That's a pretty good head start over all of us. If I had $25 million to start a company, I bet I could make it a success too - especially if you throw in a few of daddy's senator friends, etc.

But FedEx is a great company, no doubt about it.
Freds daddy died when he was 4.

Well I guess his daddy's $25 million and influence had nothing to do with his success then. :p

Senatorial influence from the grave, no wonder you just fly airplanes:p

You pilots should be happy that you have a union to back you up. I'm one of the RTD's let me tell you, I can't wait for the chance to see us "drivers" fall under the NLRB, and I hope that you will give us the support that is needed to make this happen.

When we were called Federal Express things were different, now that we are called FedEx Express things have changed for the worse for the hourly employees.

GJ.

Yeah, you're probably right. Once a very rich and powerful man dies, his influence ends right then and there.

I can see you are quite taken with Fred. Sorry, I feel like I kicked your dog and insulted your wife or something and personally insulted you. Feel free to love Fred all you want. It's really okay with me. :D

You're right Timo.

I love Fred too now. He is the bestest of the best. Fred is cooler than cool ranch Doritos.

Do you have a Fred shrine above your bed that I can borrow so I can worship him and love him like you do? :D

Maybe, you can gaze at it with starry eyes and the goosebumps of the man envy that you seem to be displaying in fine childish form:D:D
