Garick,

I could not disagree with you more regarding Bil Earll. PQ treated him the same way he has treated the shareholders.....LIKE CRAP! Bill Earll was constantly working in the red because PQ would not pay him in a timely manner. Months would go by with work being done and no money from PQ, and the bill just kept getting bigger and bigger. Bill got a lot of things done for SFMI, when most contractors would have walked away long ago. The only way Bill was able to pay his employees was by selling shares that he slowly received from PQ in lieu of cash, further diluting all of our shareholder positions, and then getting the shares out of PQ was like pulling teeth......always the promise of more shares/cash coming.....howllow promises. Throw him under the bus if you want, but you are placing the balme in the wrong person. PQ is to blame for the shortcommings of SFMI. I know a lot more than I will share on a bulletin board, but I can assure you your anger/blame is misplaced. There are a lot of people around the Melba area that will vouch for Bill Earll. Why don't you ask Bobby Joe what kind of person Bill Earll is......he has boots on the ground and knows the history better than most of us.
