By coincidence, the following is from this morning's (6-6) Kansas City Star, in an article concerning the recent Chapter 11 filing of a Kansas City business, Payless Cashways: "The odds are sky high against Payless or any other Chapter 11 company being successful. According to the American Bankruptcy Institute, 85 percent to 87 percent of companies that go into Chapter 11 do not succeed in reorganizing. The landscape is littered with failed retail Chapter 11s, including Venture Stores Inc., Montgomery Ward & Co., Carter Hawley Hale and Service Merchandise, to name a few." Best wishes to Baldwin; they need them. Kent Swafford
