His freakin house reminded me of Tara from Gone with the Wind and he talked just like Clark Gable. Ahh, those were the days-1st class air travel, and you got hell if your company AMEX entertainment expense bill wasn't at least a couple grand a month. Obviously mainframe software cost a lot more back then. I stayed a couple of more years and they eventually got bought out by Computer Associates and I got a nice plump package which let me start my own software company-but no more Masters trips. <em>thesavvyboomer's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheSavvyBoomer/~3/267846538/happy-2nd-anniv.html' rel="nofollow">Happy 2nd Anniversary Boomer Chronicles</a></em> 60: No- he was the prez of the company I worked for but just (just?) a board member at Augusta.

Worth back in the late '80s. It was a fun time. The place would go nuts during the tournament and as an employee I'd get two free tickets. Usually I'd give my tickets to a canoeing buddy who was a big golfer. One year I took my dad out there. I femember seeing all the fools who were following after the players, and the club members who were acting like their shit didn't stink.
