Well, you're right, there are worse billionaires. Maybe I should write to tell him that we are both descended from the Huguenot immigrant, Jean Mallet, who built the windmill that was later to become the Old Powder House, the ransacking of which by the King's troops led to the so-called 'Powder Alarm' and subsequently to the American Revolution. Indeed, we are both descended from his grandson John Mallett.
