3. Except you forgot to mention that Scamway Dick is backing the R for govener this year

7. The DeVoss and Van Andels are the families that started scamway
Both Families are very well known in the city of Grand Rapids Michigan as well as known for backing R canadidates. Scamway Dick made a run for govener last election cycle, you might remember him as Dick DeVoss, the guy who drove scamway into the ground when he ran scamway, he was so bad as CEO his daddy stepped in and fired him.

12. Ok I remember that now I knew he was related by marriage I just couldn't remember who married
Edited on Thu Oct-21-10 12:17 AM by mrcheerful
whom, that damn old age thing again. But that marriage gave Eric a seat on the scamway board of execs before he started Blackwater right? Sorry it's 1 am and brains freezing.

13. And Betsy and Eric Prince are heirs to big bucks from an auto supplier legacy.
Betsy was no pauper.

A marriage of the simply rich with the filthy rich.

Prince, founder of the Prince Corporation (an automobile parts company that introduced lighted vanity mirrors for cars), and Elsa Broekhuizen.<4> He has three older sisters.<5> Prince's mother is of Dutch heritage, as was his late father (the family name, Prins, was at some point anglicized to Prince).
