haven’t always been friendly. Between Squanto and present day most meetings in the past were quite violent. The New England colonists and Indians encounters went from friendly to tense and dangerous with the introduction of European goods, new colonists, and war alliances.

that both of you have made to our bank’s senior officers, Miami Dade Merchant’s Bank (MDM) continues to be inflexible. It refuses to increase our $3.2 million line of credit and says that it will not change its mind. It is also proposing tighter covenants. I have highlighted for MDM our improved EBIT and free cash flow over the last eighteen months and our concomitant success in reducing the use of our line of credit by almost $500,000.
