account and get maybe 3 or 4 percent.”

“Mr. Worthington is right! The committee will have the final say over an investment. We will decide, no one else. If you don't like our handling of the money - vote us out. Let us have no more of this kind of talk. I will assure that our money goes to the right companies.” Fazzi said glaring the questioner down. “I will be responsible, me and no one else. If you don't like it - take your money and ……” At that he let his voice trail off. The man sat down in his chair and was not heard from again. The rest of the meeting went along speedily. Fazzi rammed through his choices for the committee and they were approved by voice vote. After that people were asked to pledge money to start up and the donations even shocked Fazzi. Well over two million dollars was pledged. The meeting then broke up into small groups with Worthington's personnel taking to each group and explaining how the “club” would operate. The meeting broke up at about midnight. The last to leave was Richard and while he was saying good-bye, Fazzi apologize for the one or two hot heads. “I must say you did very well in handling them. I had been prepared for much more opposition. I had a few 'friends' spread out and they were just waiting for a sign from me and they would have, shall we say, escorted them out. But that never became necessary. You did very well, Richard. Even that one that asked the question invested some money. In the end- Money has its own nationality.” He laughed. “I must say that the pledges really shocked me I had not expected so much money to be pledged right away. I thought they would hold back until we showed some profit.
