Primary Evidence
"justified. I asked Gordon if he would join me. I recall telling him, 'I don't think I'll be tempting you with money, but what I can offer you is opportunity/ This Gordon saw, fortunately. He must have seen that what we did with our money was to go wide and far, to hunt out opportunities for expansion, to enjoy the real freedom of enterprise. So he joined us, and he very soon brought others, like Geoffrey Parrack and Tim Hedgecock, to help us, and there never was any doubt about our spirit of enterprise."
