"Howard called me (John) back in the eighties to say he was going to be bidding a job for Pennhill in the abandoned oil fields in Yorba Linda. I told Howard I would give him a copy of the lumber list that I had paid Bob to prepared for me. I also shared with Howard that I was told I was going to do the job. Well Howard beat me by $43,000 on a $1.5 million dollar job (.028%). So, by helping Howard it cost me $43,000."
