"He wouldn't need it, of course, if there were other people on the BoD with the necessary experience, and that's tcr's point. Again, who could disagree with that? Rather than answer that question, I invite anyone to answer this one instead because it's more specific and needs thought: who on the BoD has the business experience and skills necessary to take Patriot to the next level AFTER merger/acquisition and/or success in EDT?"

I would disagree "with that" for the simple reason that any merger or acquistion target has an existing BOD and it wouldn't be overly difficult to retain the CEO(or other executives) to run the target as a subsidiary. Obviously, PTSC would place members on the target's BOD.

Be well
