Questions/Issues Discussed:
Who is Red McCombs?
Red McCombs and John Wayne were good friends. Why did Red convince John to hold

funny – and also shows how smart Red McCombs is!
Has Red McCombs given hundreds of millions of dollars to charities in Texas?
Red McCombs gave $50 million to establish the School of Business at the
University of Texas? Why should Red immediately demand his money back? Sherry
