A fire started by an Oasis watercooler destroyed this company, and Chubb insurance is refusing to pay because the owner was risking his life rescuing a cat and six kittens and not some data tapes from the burning office building! Please help spread the word!
   I am a disabled widower with three children. I am also the last remaining employee of EPD, Inc. in Pryor, Oklahoma. Dan Judd hired me while I was going through Oklahoma Vo-Tech/Rehab to work for him when I knew very little about his business.
   Back in January of 1998, he took a pregnant cat in to the office so she could have her kittens without having to worry about being killed by stray dogs. Five days after she had them, a fire that was started by a water cooler in the business next door destroyed the office.
   While the fire was going on, Dan went into the building against the orders of the fire fighters there and rescued the cat and all the kittens. Now, the companies responsible for the fire, Oasis, Chubb and Coke are using the notion that he should have saved our data backups as an excuse to avoid paying for our company and jobs.
   Dan had to lay off everybody else 8 days before Christmas, and the only reason I'm here is because I won't leave until this is settled, whether I get a paycheck or not.
   Please help us! I am valuable and I want to work!    Danny Stewart
   EPD is asking everyone to please help us spread the word about this disgusting behavior. Boycott Oasis Watercoolers, don't insure with Chubb Insurance, and above all:
Make SURE there is not an Oasis Watercooler in your home, or where your children go to school.
If your child is hurt or, God forbid, killed by one of these Oasis Watercoolers, you won't want to hear, "Unfortunately, we don't insure children." It takes very little to check, and even less to replace it, and could save you so much grief. Let's face it, all we lost was our jobs and business. I'd hate to see someone else lose a child.    A list of Oasis' competitors, and other water product suppliers is available   here.

        What it's like in a burning office... ...with your pockets full of kittens
            ...and the rest of the story: Kittens saved, Jobs lost while Oasis and Chubb stonewall
Models, Actresses, MIS Managers, Truck Drivers, Insurance Adjusters, even Oasis employees also object to these sleazy tactics! Visit these 'copycat' sites to see what they have to say.

In a nutshell: EPD asked Oasis to pay for destroying our company and jobs; Oasis told us they would not, because I rescued kittens instead of our files; EPD sued Oasis for the cost of replacing our company(about $57,000); Oasis sued EPD and I for $703 million to shut us up. When other people began complaining about that, Oasis threatened to sue to shut them up!
PLEASE HELP US FIGHT OFF THIS DESPICABLE ATTACK!
   Thank you very much, and I hope all of your new years are better than ours.    I also hope your business dealings involve people with a better corporate conscience than those we've encountered.
