[Milsurplus] Fwd: Re: [Boatanchors] [BoatAnchors] Mackay Marine Mystery

Harold Geneen was the CEO who bought companies in the 1960's and 70's. He turned ITT into a Congolmerate.

It was Rand Araskog in the 1970's who divested ITT of various holdings. It got out of the Telecom field in the mid 1980's.

I don't think my case od Worldcom sending the work to the lowest bidde had anything to do with these acquisitions or divestitures.

     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 
world, living on hamburgers, in persuit of this. I have not 
tried a Google search but I am sure it would find both the 
right spelling and a lot of background information on him.
