     Hal or Harrold Gennine, or something like that, I also 
am not sure of the spelling. Geninne(?) was famous, or maybe 
notorious, for all sorts of mergers on the philosophy that 
you must diversify or die.  He traveled all around the

tried a Google search but I am sure it would find both the 
right spelling and a lot of background information on him.
