that anyone do anything other than try to get the ear of our IR firm and management. I am, without purposely doing so, guilty of being involved in some forum discussions that got off track. I allowed some posters of questionable motive or repute to get to me. I apologize to the board for that. But do not think for a moment that I do not intend to make sure that both Hawk and our management know how unprofessional and unresponsive our IR firm's conduct has been during this important period after the Texas settlement. I served in the Corps for 37 years and I was never unable to contact a representative of any unit or organization. Multiple layers of on-duty personnel assured Red Cross messages or any other necessary information got to the party it was intended to reach. Just think about it - we are paying Hawk a tidy sum, and with very valuable shares to boot, for closing station and march order. Unacceptable! Have a great new year, my friend. See you in victory lane...
