FBN Associates Lauded in Wall Street Journal
Sedona, Ariz., June 19, 1998 - Businesswire - FBN Associates (Nazdaq: FBNA) is proud to annouce that it has been the subject of an in depth article prepared for the Wall Street Journal by the internationally famous financial reporter Jason Anders.
"I'm both proud and touched", said TEDennis, FBNA CEO, speaking before a throng of print and electronic press. "This moment has made all the, um, you know, yes, hard work worthwhile. What a country! I feel so lucky to be an American and a capitalist!"
Never verbose, always to the point, TED nodded to the crowd, flashed a boyish grin, and took off for downtown Sedona on his Harley.
Kevin Watson and Jeffrey Mitchell, when asked their opinion of the article, said they thought it was extremely fair and that they had not been misquoted. "I believe this hy...errr, attention from a newspaper so highly respected on the Street could send our shares flying", commented an ecstatic Watson. Mitchell added, "My phone's already ringing off the hook. Sure I know there were rumors that Disney wasn't really interested, but..., well, of course I can't say anything more about that just now."
Janice Shell of Investor Relations presented Bill Ulrich, the FBN website designer, to the gathered reporters. "We couldn't have done it without Bill", she averred. "These days, without a good site a company virtually doesn't exist."
A great day for FBN Associates, a great day for Sedona.
