MACS rise to the top of the business world in THE EMPIRE BUILDER, begins with a phone call. DEN OF LIONS Invited by Nikki’s to stay at her home in San Francisco, while he looks for a job, Mac barely has time to unpack when the phone rings. “Mac, this is your father. How does it feel to be a civilian?” “Well dad, it’s a bit early to say, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it.” “Good, that’s what I want to hear. As you know the death of Jon Atkinson opened a position on our board of directors, and you were elected to his fill his seat. The board is scheduled to meet this coming Friday in Honolulu, and the senor members are looking forward to meeting you. Marcy in our travel department, is setting up your flight arrangements as we speak and Ill meet you at the gate.” “Dad, being appointed to that seat is quite a compliment coming from a you and those tough old codgers on the board. Ill do my best to show my worth. Now, can you tell me what’s on the table for the meeting coming up on Friday?” “Son, just one issue, albeit a big one; the growth and profitability of our car rental operations.” “Well, considering my long standing position on marketing car rentals thatll certainly give me something to think about. By the way Mac, in addition to your travel and other incidental expenses, youll receive $500 for every meeting you attend. Dad, thats a very generous start for an unemployed former Air Force pilot.” (c) THE EMPIRE BUILDER
