Li'l Spock and I went to a land auction this past winter for entertainment. Somehow, we started talking to an older gentleman who had been some sort of fundraiser for Concordia College in Moorhead.BackInTex wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 8:35 amI knew there was a Microsoft offic there, we have several former MS employees working in our IT organizatin in Fargo.

DeSantis guy here, but-North Dakota Republican governor Doug Burgum is going to throw his hat into the ring this week-that should really shake things up-LOL. God, could anybody be more milquetoast?
But, seriously, while I knew he had sold his software company (Great Plains Software) to Microsoft several years ago-I didn't know that Fargo is Microsoft's second biggest campus.
Interesting, but I have never met a name-dropper like him.
He was keeping Ron Offutt apprised of the land sales prices. Offutt is a major bigwig who is probably the biggest potato farmer in the world and has numerous other interests as well and is a Concordia alum.
It wasn't very long into the conversation and he let us know that he had met Bill Gates-etc etc.
