[Grovenet] wall mart and 911

[Bob Browning]

I agree; read the story again and talk to Rene' and Bob True and others 
in their shop and they'll tell you that the biggest hit they took was 
when Winco opened. I would have thought Freddie's would have made the 
difference, but I hate to shop there more than I hate to shop at Safeway!!
