I`m making an assumption that Turley will be an ACTIVE member of the board.
If accurate, it appears Pohl`s pretty serious about acquisitions - bringing Turley on will allow them to apply complete understanding of up and comers and help them make wise choices.
I would have liked to have seen this 4-6 months ago, but there were assumably some roadblocks or stipulations.
The hand they`re showing indicates (to me anyway) they intend to move ahead with the potential of acquiring new technologies.
In addition Turley brings instant recognition and credibility to Patriot, by choosing to associate with their product.
I would suspect Turley will also provide avenues for marketing, or for getting the right people...
This also weakens many of my original assumptions that they are positioning themselves in a different direction.
Exciting times, I hope they continue.
