but Sir John and I, we were it in terms of the investment staff in the Bahamas. So I got to work next to him and he became comfortable with me and gave me more and more responsibilities. I started off researching companies for him. He would come in, lay a piece of paper on my desk. Normally it was hotel stationary because that was the cheapest way of getting stationary, was to take some from a hotel you stayed in. And he'd write me little notes saying, you know, do this or do that. And I would do it, put it on his desk. And yeah, so he just kept giving me more and more responsibilities, became a research analyst for the group, took over the management of some of the portfolios that he ran for private individuals. And then in May of 87, so I started working for him in 85, in May of 87, he came in and put all of his mutual funds on his desk and said, from now on, you figure out what should go in these portfolios and leave the trade tickets on my desk. And that was 11 o'clock in May of (6/57)
