Ron stated that he communicates with Brian on a fairly regular basis or when time permits(?) I/we obviously don't know what they discuss. "Ron seems to be in favor of a shareholder letter." Does this tell us something????? It sounds like (for whatever reason) a formal letter might be in order.

Ron - I'm not insinuating that you and Brian discuss Patriot info, but you obvioulsy have a relationship with Brian. I would think that you would not be in favor of a letter if you thought venting to Brian would get us anywhere with Turley and the BOD.
