Reply #1: I know Dick, I'm from GR

My dad knew Peter Sechia pretty well before dad retired and moved to Florida.

The DeVos' are hypocrits and are not the faithful christians they pretend to be.
1. They own a plant in China and make a profit off of a nation that persecutes christians, and anyone else who dissents against their regime.
2. They con people into buying distributorships of their products. The old recruiting method (as shown on 60 Minutes back in the early 80s) was telling people that "God wants you to be rich, God wants you to get rich selling AMWAY products". I guess the Van Andels and DeVoses got the camel through the eye of the needle.
3. When the company first bought and renovated the old Pantlind hotel in downtown GR (which I will admit that they did a good job restoring it to it's previous glory), Peter Sechia owned all the restaurants because DeVos's dad and Van Andel believed it was against their faith to own liquor licenses. The hotel now owns all the restaurants (I think Sechia sold them to the company about the time he became Daddy Bush's ambassador to Italy), so I don't know how they decided it was suddenly okay. Not that I have a problem with christians serving alcohol or anything, but it is an interesting switch of morals.
