Touring

As you might imagine, each of the tourists had a different set of goals for the tour:

Tourist	Stated Goal1	Perceived Goal2
Ken	Sell house.	Get even with Mark-->'s parents3
Karen	Assist Ken.	Protect father from godless heathens who ask for a showing on Good Friday.
Steve	Choose a house.	Choose a house4.
Kristie	Choose a house.	Spot neighbors with cute dogs.
Jerry	Provide advice based on years of experience in building trades.	Identify walls he could knock down5

1. Why the tourist would say he or she came
2. What the other tourists thought they were really up to
3. Hence his decision to try to make Kristie and Steve their new neighbors.
4. Steve tends to be pretty simple, plus, since he wrote this, he has no idea what the others might have thought he was up to. Kristie?
5. In both houses where structural integrity was not in doubt, he suggested removing one or more walls. It should be noted that he has never removed a wall in his own home and has, in fact, added several.
