He says that he is a businessman who is "the head of one of the largest firms of manufacturers in his line in the world" and he has not been "hoodwinked " into this what he considers valuable social experiement. He says he hopes Greeno is sincere in his intention to work for the best interests of the people of Fairhope. |
