RE: IHonestly, I think it is all about shareholder value where Gary is concerned. Be it to buy out or to be bought out, the main thing is to wring out the value. It starts with the operations - but as RIC is the operator, he isn't expected to be at the site on the time, hands on. So this gives him the oppty to do what he has to do to move us up. I know that he's been busting his chops, by the way. I liked JP but a change is good sometimes and Gary brings a lot of new energy into the mix.
