I met Earl in 2007. You talk about the art of the deal. I was introduced to Earl through Fred Smith. We drove to Brighton and looked at a farm together. It was 185 acres. I told him where I was and what I wanted to offer. He let me know that it was a great deal at that offer and let him know if I got it...and I did. I didnt.know him well but to give me his time and knowledge was appreciated more than you know. As Fred.would say, "Rest in peace my friend" and thank you.
