John,

Next time I am out that way, I will do so. Now that I am retired from government and own a private company, I have more freedom. I thought of stopping by Sonny Trimble while in St. Louis the week before last, but figure he would just throw me out on my ear. Back when DoD had the Legacy Program, my Navy command applied for funding to convert an underground morgue to a HVAC controlled collections management facility. Sonny traveled to Washington or Arlington to oppose that request and seek the funds for his own program to design megacenters across America. While he killed my program, he failed to build the chain of megacenters. My command found other money and we built it anyway. Sonny was pissed when I sent a letter expressing my displeasure at his actions and he let everyone in North America know his displeasure. Every time I spoke to a DoD administrator, I received a telephone call from the Army letting me know they did not like my approach. Ten years later, my collection is in excellent care and Sonny
