If that were me, I would be having my attorney contact the company concerning residuals...... Say a case of beer a week (delivered) and a nickel a bottle sold.......

Great story ...I'm weepy eyed right now! Thank You for sharing. My brother Frank was 101st Airborne in Nam...... He is no longer with us but I wear his jungle jacket from time to time when I go to the range. I have had it since 69.... A lot of memories..............
