I'd say the owners, not Marriott or his family, have the say on pools, bars, etc. in the hotel. It would cartainly be bad business to try to open a major-league hotel without a bar or a pool. I don't think his religion gets in the way of business. -- David Harrington internet: dgh@unify.COM Unify Corporation ...!{csusac,pyramid}!unify!dgh 3870 Rosin Court voice: (916) 920-9092 Sacramento, CA 95834 fax: (916) 921-5340
