Whirlwind: the Butcher Banking Scandal by Sandra Lea


   Sandra Lea was a dear friend of mine. She passed away in January of this year. In her will, she left a few of her closest friends several copies of her landmark book, Whirlwind: the Butcher Banking Scandal--a history book about a banking scandal that happened in this area in the late 70s early 80s.  After giving away several of them, I posted on E-bay and have been selling them like hot cakes to hungry lumberjacks.
  If you want to buy a copy, please let me know at Sunsphere  book @ aol.com  . The price is $35 plus shipping of around $6. The book has over 800 pages and several photographs. 
You may go to www. amazon  .com and read reviews and get more info.
   There will never be any more of this book, so its value goes up each day. Many bookstore owners are buying copies to sell now and in the future. 
The copies I am selling are signed by Jesse Barr, who was heavily involved in the scandal. He served time in prison as did Jake Butcher.

What happened to the rest of her research? Was it donated to any part of the TN university system or elsewhere? She was working on a sequel -
