Ok, Ok .......We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.

I don't know if its true, but I have heard it many times and I actually did a speech myself on it one. Apparently WC once made a speech to a US university consisting of only thirteen words. He said these are very important, base your career on the following 13 words said with emphasis....

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never give up.

Upton Resources Retains Financial Advisors

CALGARY, Feb. 11 /CNW/ - (URC - TSE) Upton Resources Inc. (Upton)
announced today that it has engaged Tristone Capital Inc. and Yorkton
Securities Inc. as financial advisors to the Board of Directors in connection
with its previously announced process to explore strategic alternatives
designed to maximize shareholder value.

___________

As a long-suffering shareholder, I'm sorry to say I've never heard of Tristone, and don't think much of Yorkton. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't have my hopes up high.
