the hell would we ever continue building when we could do this so we just started going after more ground and it wasn't long after that tim samuels was let go from ryan holmes which she'd been there for years and he had he was known as the godfather of land in the carolinas and they let him go to replace him with some young buck out of college you know thinking that this guy could do the same things that you know tim would do and they'd have to pay you know 350 400 000 a year well
