“That I haven’t even soaked in yet,” said one of Man Hater’s owners, Gene Owen. “When Kate [Harrison] asked me some questions right behind the deal, I was just speechless almost. It hadn’t soaked in. 20 years from now, it still may be the highest. Maybe not, but they’ll have a hard time beating it. And he’s not hardly done, so he may beat it himself.”
