It was great to meet the Hastman's; Gill, Darcy, and Len, as well as, Ted Rutherglen. The information they shared with us regarding their involvement with SLI as shareholders and their decision to try and bring this company's direction of interest back inline with shareholders interests rather than Lori's, was so encouraging.

It was also an honor to finally meet Sculpin. He spoke briefly with the group after the Hastman's and Ted. After the meeting, I hurried over to introduce myself to Sculpin and he was as gracious in person as he is on this forum. It was an honor for both my husband and myself Sculp. Hope to see you again soon.

My take from this meeting was that for the next period of time the ball is in our court, whereas before Lori was the one in the lead. However, our time to be the most effective is now, so our next move is based on the amount of money available to the dissident (elect) group; they will begin their next option strategy according to the funds we give them. Time is of the essence and the sooner they can make their move the more effective the outcome will be in both my opinion and theirs.

So, please everyone give whatever you can afford ASAP, the quicker we can react to the current situatiion, the better the chances. We have come this far as a group, now lets give our dissidents a chance to take SLI back into shareholder hands and steer it in the right direction. It is up to all of us to do our part. Any amount will help and will be greatly appreciated.
