I thought that San Diego, Seattle, or San Francisco on the West Coast would be best. Or Jacksonville, Charleston, Norfolk, or New London on the East Coast. Heck, if they were trying to centralize the thing, at least go for St. Louis, Chicago or even Vegas! At least there is more to do there than there is in Peoria of all places! LOL! You're probably right though. Just reminiscing about old times will be the best part...where we physically are located doesn't matter so much. Yes, the Navy is sometimes short of good ideas (at least on the small things) too! -Joe

ATTENTION CHILDREN OF THE CORN and others who do not understand business or are just looking for trouble. It is common for companies to give tours to investors, common. So this is a non-issue. I guess some people never got off a plane and saw a nice man standing there with their name on a sign. If they had he would have said the company sent him, welcome to Seattle and that he will help you with your bags. He will drive you to your downtown hotel in a large, very new, limmo and he will tell you if there are questions about Seattle he can answer or if there is something you would like to see or do before the hotel, to just ask. When you get to the hotel, they tell you your suite is ready and a bell person takes you directly to your suite. A basket of fruit and a bottle of wine is waiting there with a welcome note from the company that the limmo will take you to the company later for a tour and to meet the CEO, President, CFO, etc. EVEN IF GNET did business like this, if the investor had bucks and talked to people with bucks who listen to him, what you call all this is good business (not a tour). Call it an investment, not a tour. Now if a company was to piss off a long time investor and let a product be run like a playpen, THAT may be something to worry about but not a tour. BTW a CEO once met me at the gate, he said he thought it would mean more to me than to have a limmo driver pick me up. He was right. BLUE
