Made an offer and everything. Bruce laughed and said he'd never sell the Pine Center. That building was his crown jewel. Ed took me aside one day in Tim's office and showed me on a calculator he had what he estimated the Pine Center to be worth and how he arrived at that figure. Made sense, but c'mon... he was freakin MONTHS late on his own rent! And now he's trying for the whole building?! Kevin told me that when he shook Ed's hand the first time, a cold chill ran down his spine and he interpreted it as a sign from God never to have any dealings with Ed. Kevin was always into omens like that. Ed was always incredibly nice to me. Talked to me about Napoleon Hill's works. Impressed I had the books on my shelf. Funny guy. Believable for awhile though.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('86','Greg Thompson'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('86','Greg Thompson','I also remember one time Ed was trying to \"buy\" the Pine Center from Bruce.
