[GNC] Unusual book need

[Jeff]

David, I like your approach the best. Even though the transactions are 
in a joint account between my son and father, I am legally responsible 
for my sons activities.  And all of the transactions apply to my farm, 
not Dads.

Now for the fun part, I have to find all of them and get them moved.  
The IRS waits for no one and I am in a serious time crunch.  3 
abandoned/orphaned bottle calves and trying to save an abandoned newborn 
that refuses both bottle and standing up (I definitely do not need a 
quadriplegic calf right now.  I don't even know where to purchase a 
wheel chair for a calf). Oh, the joys of being a farmer!
