some pure speculation. We may be the "little guy" in an already well along the track partnership. Perhaps Mr. Blakely could see the management team on the other side of the partnership and realized he would not be lead dog. I have no idea if this is even plausible, but I suspect that there is a valid reason why Mr. Blakely is leaving and will simply continue to trust that the BOD and management that that has held us together and gotten us to this point is going to continune taking us forward. If I didn't believe that I would liquidate my position and find something else to do with my money. I will certainly post any reply I get, if any, from Robert. Back surgery recovery is going pretty well all things considered. Never again will I have 5 vertebrae fused at one time. Really cramps your style. Thanks for all the prayers - they have greatly aided my recovery. Blessings to all
