<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 19945721, member: 100459&quot;]Although this isn&#039;t about a coin show, I learned to not trust anyone when it comes to money.&nbsp; Many years ago, our church needed to raise funds for a church.&nbsp; I was assigned to find a way to earn some money.&nbsp; I was the internal auditor for a major university.&nbsp; I spoke to the Business Manager of the Sports Program and I was given the opportunity to manage the concession booths at the Football games. (Most of you may not have heard of the university, but it was East Carolina University.)&nbsp; Anyway, we operated 4 concession stands for about 8 years.&nbsp; At the end of the game, we had to settle up the cash and as the Internal Operator, I went to the bank with the Business Manager to settle up how much money each booth was to have.&nbsp; We had been spot on or within a few dollars.&nbsp; When we settled up at the end of the 7th year, one of the deposit bags was short exactly $2,000.&nbsp; I knew who operated the booth and what was done, but I couldn&#039;t prove it, so our church took it on the chin and subtracted it from our commission.&nbsp; I never would have believed that one of our church members would steal money from the church.&nbsp; Our Pastor told me not to tell anyone one about it, even though I knew who took the money.</p><p>My father taught me from the time I was able to count money, not to trust relatives, church members, or friends.&nbsp; That was in 1980.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t listen to well because I have been betrayed by family, friends, and church members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
