Feed the Children founder Larry Jones was fired last Friday. He led that charity for 30 years.

Yeah, that's what prompted me to ask this question. That is big news here in OK. He is now filing suit against his own non-profit, saying that the organization can no longer use his name or likeness to solicit funds. That would be tough...being fired from an organization that you not only founded, but dedicated your life to for 30 years.

The Steve Jobs example is pretty poignant, too. I just watched the movie that was made about that, ''Pirates of Silicon Valley''. It's a good movie; I recommend it.
