AWWWW What the heck, Let's have some fun with this.LOLOLOL!!!
Dear Frank...
I have had a hacker problem with my e mail for about two weeks, which should be secured tomorrow, so I can hopefully catch up with my mail. My apologies in advance for not being able to communicate more openly.
I frequently question myself as to why, after over four years of battling to protect Aqua Vie's shareholders, that someone would suggest that I would take the company private now... that was essentially an opportunity that I had, if I chosen to take it, when I left the courthouse, over a year ago.
Perhaps I'm naive in these days of instant gratification, but I still feel strongly that when real people sincerely invest in a new business, they are a part of the entrepreneurial team that helps lay a foundation for it's future growth... in good times and in bad, both of which have happened here.
Frank, I have worked far too hard in following through on this project, and in planning the most appropriate time to reveal Aqua Vie's true value in a demonstrable way, to ever consider selling out. And, I really wouldn't have been able to get this far without the help of Aqua Vie's shareholders.
I have had to make strategic decisions over the course of time in response to the changing competitive, retaliatory, and economic issues facing Aqua Vie's breaking free. But these decisions have always been made with the company's shareholders in mind, one of which is me. I have no hidden agenda, except to finish what I started.
I am somewhat disappointed by the armchair CEO's out there, but I've decided that it's just part of the job... I don't profess to be Moses, but for all the brain cells they've used, I just wish they had created something of value, instead of undermining the present with philosophical memorabilia.
>From my vantage point Frank, I cannot give you any guarantees... but it's my personal belief that you will do quite well with Aqua Vie. I'm quite confident that everyone will, but again, that's just my personal opinion.
