Susie, Paul Henry caught you with the old sneak phone call. Oldest trick in the book! Would you at least comment on whether your level of optimism went up, stayed the same, or decreased after you spoke with him? Well, Suzanne I would have to say my level of optimism stayed about the same. He did say that the IRS was working "with" them on the back taxes issue but that cash flow is still a problem. (I am taking this from memory, so it's not word for word what he said) He also said that while there has been responses from some schools and while some schools have decided to go with the music card idea, some of them are not the entire school. (did that make sense?) Some of the schools are trying out the card in a small way, i.e baseball team, band, etc. I guess if it works out, maybe next year they would consider expanding it. I also asked him about the distributors and he said that there were a few reasons for discontinuing them. One of which was because each state has different laws pertaining to distributorships and also because in the past, when a distributor didn't do well, sometimes they would come back and blame the company, and try to slap them with a lawsuit of some kind. Again folks, this is from my memory and not word for word what he said...so I might be a little bit off. My first impression from talking to him is that he is not the "arrogant" person that some have made him out to be.....but, I also didn't really challenge him on anything. He caught me in one of my good moods, I guess! Susie PS to REW - How do you do this reporting to the thread stuff???? I must have changed the wording on this little post 50 times!
