Father and Sons (Family Dynastys) First to come to mind in tech (after Henry and Edsel and the other Fords) are of course the IBM Watsons and the Motorola Galvins, but for a succession of sons and grandsons and excluding some notable Canadians in the liquor business one family stands out and Cooters should identify: * Augie Busch, Augie Busch Jr., Augie Busch II, Augie Busch III, Augie Busch IV. My personal US family dynasty and my favorite son that done good was Coors family heir Peter Coors who is 2 years younger than I am. In 1963, when he was a studcad at Phillips Exeter Academy where my father taught, and which ws 7 miles from my hometown on the NH seacoast, my college basketball team scrimaged the PEA team he captained. Peter and I damned near killed each other in that game and we both fouled out in the process of trying to neutralize each other. After the game we exchanged the cut-off sweatshirts we each wore in the game. I wore his navy blue one with the big Coors label silk screened in white on front and with his 'Peter Coors' laundry tag inside the back collar on every beach or sailing vacation I took for 25 years until it totally disintegrated. During the last 10 years of that sweatshirt's life my wife and daughters would beg me not to take it with us on vacation, or wear it if I did. It remains a family joke to this day. I personally think that Paul Jacobs will do extremely well as the captain of QUALCOMM. Examine his genes, Examine his exceptional education, Examine his management team, - Eric -
