Basically all we can do is get a bankruptcy attorney and get in line. |
I'm from Minneapolis, so I was well aware of the company and its dire financial straits. I stayed on top of this and I was the only hotel to get paid, and the payments were made and the checks cleared. |
I've been dumped by girlfriends and taken a lot of other hits, but this one really, really hurt. I lost a lot of sleep over this. |
The bank called me and told me to expect a big negative chunk because Northwest had declared bankruptcy and gone back and reversed the payments. |
The bank said, 'Come on, John, we can't do that,' but they both cleared the next day and the money was in the bank. |
We islanders have songs to sing and stories to tell. |
