Jennifer your post came at a wonderful time. This board was starting to quiet down after the proxy battle. I am so pleased that you found the time to speak on your own behalf and am very sure that from your post Richard's children have learned the important lessons in life that have been the stalwart of good business practises for many years. Hard work never hurt anyone I believe is one of the statements. Treat others as you would be treated yourself is another. I think with your father the most important business statement that defines him is " My word is my bond". None of us on this forum have ever doubted the words your father submitted to us when he, with such exhuberance provided news at the onset of this Eagle One story. His excitement lit a fire under all of us. We felt what he felt and because he still feels the same regarding the future outlook of Noront and the Ring of Fire, we too will be looking forward to a great story unfolding ahead of us.

One other quote that I felt was very fitting:

There are two modes of establishing our reputation: to be praised by honest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the former, because it will invariably be accompanied by the latter.

Have a great day and please pass my warmest regards to your father. We look forward to seeing and hearing more from in over the next while.

All the best,

Mustangman (Larry Jewell)
