Charles Collings is the most dishonest man Charles Nordby ever did business with in his life. This is the man who claimed he was a christian to Nordby. This is also the same man who cheated Nordby out of what was due him during the years 1973-1976. He also cheated Nordby out of what was due him when he helped publish Raley's fraudulent history book.
about a letter Collings sent to one of Nordby's sons. Even in his letter there are many inaccuracies. When a person spends their entire life deceiving people, that person finds it harder and harder to determine what is true and what isn't true. The most important thing Collings is concerned about in his letter is whether or not is sounds good. It may sound good, however, it just doesn't add up. But then again, Collings is used to being associated with that which just doesn't add up. Like paying hundreds of thousands of dollars extra in dishonest supplier invoices that didn't add up at Raley's in 1973. The dishonest invoice looked good on paper to Collings, so he paid it. Do you have a case of hams you'd like to sell to Collings? Collings, in 1973, would have paid you hundreds of dollars extra for that case.
to read the overcharges that Nordby showed Collings that Raley's was over-paying one deli supplier in 1973.
For a guy who was totally incompetent in 1973, Raley's history book sure made this man appear like he was a genius. Contact Collings at raleys.com and ask him to completely explain to you on how, he and Jim Teel, were able to purchase a chain of stores that were losing money in Nevada (1973), when they didn't really have any money to purchase any chain of stores. Ask Collings why, he and Teel, immediately established the Eagle Thrifty Corporation of Nevada (separate from Raley's). Ask Collings if the real reason for obtaining these stores was for the mere fact of getting some quick cash and then letting these stores go bankrupt? Ask him if Nordby coming into their lives, right about the same time they obtained these mismanaged stores, changed all of their plans they had in motion at the time, concerning the Eagle Thrifty chain of stores in Nevada?
Also, ask Collings how it felt to have a bat come flying into the stands at Raley Field and clobber him in the head? Maybe it knocked some integrity into it. I wonder if the batter was credited with a hit? It should have at least increased his batting average. In God's eyes, it might turn out to be the greatest hit ever made in the game of baseball. Plus, it was made by a player not earning $8 million a year to hold a bat in his hand.
