No granite fixtures there. Hamilton and Grax both are pro big business. And E$$ent is what? Well they're not into health care so it must be big business.<BR/><BR/>Besides, Hamilton is too busy looking for positive adverbs and adjectives to use in columns praising Vest and Williams to be doing stories on real issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11360009.post-1150867206874239412006-06-21T00:20:00.000-05:002006-06-21T00:20:00.000-05:00Congrats to the folks in Weatherford for their use...Congrats to the folks in Weatherford for their use of common sense, and good luck in their partnership with Community Health.
