Alan Ridley spoke about Charles Ashira's proposed film about Henry George. Could we have a skit about Henry George? Secondly, he spoke about the cattle king of California, Henry Miller, born Heinrich Kreiser, a butcher's son and apprentice in Germany. After his mother died, in 1837, he moved to New York, aged 30. He worked as a butcher, and was allowed to keep the intestines, from which he named sausages. He made friends with a man named Henry Miller, who had a ticket to San Francisco, and couldn't use it. So Heinrich changed his name to Henry Miller, and became a butcher in the Gold Rush. He got away from longhorn cattle, and obtained Herfords instead; he also acquired land, beginning in the 1850's. He made friends with assessors, a CA Supreme Court justice, and the governor, and became the largest landowner in the United States. Miller & Lux were partners.
