[net.rumor] Cal Worthington in a new light

allyn@sdcsvax.UUCP (Allyn Fratkin) (04/22/85)

I read an article about Cal Worthington in yesterday's L.A. Times Calendar
section, and I must say I have a new-found respect for the man.

He may look stupid on television, but his 5 car dealerships gross over
$200 million each year.  He has a fleet of airplanes, (at least one of which
is a Lear Jet), and he pilots them all himself. He owns several ranches, 
including one outside of Sacramento complete with tennis courts, a private
airstrip, and he raises cattle, horses and sheep on it.  
It's over 25,000 acres of land!

We all should do as well as Cal Worthington.  If I could be as rich as he is,
I'd probably stand on my head on television, too.  Besides, the article said
he doesn't even like cars!
