George, Maybe the noise is getting through. Interesting points to me include date of signing was Dec 22/97 and the partnership with Clyde. Maybe the Texan is still interested. After all, RGO has to be the only widow stock still trading at it's 1980's level. What I don't get is why is Edward et all not concerned?
