Dan,

Glad to see you evolved quickly away from the "political correctness" at Harvard. I was a "stranger in a strange land" at Princeton.

Daniel, if you feel that the Government has become a bit too obstrusive, check out my post a few minutes ago on the "Express your Feelings" Thread for a bit of political soliloquoy.

Long on ASND and wanting to mention a similar stock on the medtech side called FPAM. Check it out a mirror image of ASND over the last six months, similar growth patterns, and also an acquisition candidate etc....

Sincerely,

Doug F.

You asked about Harvard. . Please don't hold that against me.

I did go to Harvard B-School in the 70's! Finished in the bottom 1/3 of the class. Came
out a good little socialist like most of my classmates. Went to work in NYC for Arthur
Young & Co, a big 8 (back then there were 8) national CPA firm for 4 years and then
returned to Little Rock where I was CFO of commercial bank for 15 years.


Daniel,

I am sure you were teasing about holding that against you. I applied to Harvard to obtain my MBA but was not accepted. I decided to continue at my present college which was Michigan State University.
I did meet my wife in East Lansing.

I now own a software company that sells a niche product nationally to financial
institutions. Funny, when I became an entrepreneur after being a corporate hyena for so
long, my view of politics changed radically. I became a Libertarian in 1990 after I found
out how much I was paying to keep the welfare state comfortable and how intrusive our
nanny state had become. Perhaps you learned the same lesson in your jewelry business.


I learned that fifteen years ago<G> I have never worked for a large public company in an management capacity.
