[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1087524, member: 24302"] There's more to Memphis than that, and FedEx was nothing at that point. The son of a local trucking firm owner would have had as much pull in Memphis in '75. I don't know the particulars of the hit-and-run, but highly unlikely he did it on purpose and very possibly didn't realize he hit someone, or panicked after doing it and ran off. Since it happened on the day of his indictment I'd guess that he was distracted, may have been under the influence for all I know. What I read about his college days was he was an ambitious young man with a vision. His education at Yale, his military experience, his family's wealth gave him connections that allowed him to get FedEx off the ground. Somewhere along the way his vision turned into a major money machine for him and that's become the focus of his life. And we are seen as a means to that end. [/QUOTE]
