I worked for Mr. Geer in the eighties and he was always a fair man. I am latino and think Mr. Geer treated everyone equally and with respect regardless of race/color/creed.

Okay first off it's not SIT AND WAIT. And second I happen to know that if it was not for S&W there would be a lot of people in this town with no way to see a doctor. King's Daughters doctors do not give to this town like Scott and White's do. And Mr Geer i am sure was a regular supporter of Scott and White.
