Bill and All: Sorry for posting late, but it was a busy day trying to get work in some sort of shape before I head out for a week of fun in northern Minnesota. I had a great chat with the broker at Smith Barney. Great guy and very helpful. He more or less reiterated everything that Wally's contact said. He has been following us along with his group, but he said in order to do anything of substance, they need to see some financials. He said that would be the first star they could steer from. He said that Keith Mullins was the head Analyst that tracks this type of stock for SB, and he would try to get ahold of him, but he did say that Keith was an awful big fish to try to land so early in the game. He also said that the analyst department at SB had just been totaly reorganized and things were still a bit of a mess there. I asked what we could do in the mean time. He said just keep doing what your doing. He said we just need to be around for a while and get the word out. Not unlike a new restaurant. Keep cooking great food, get the people in to try, and then the rest will follow in due course. He thought that the progress that we had made so far was astounding. He said that I can call whenever I have a question, and to keep him informed of any news as he has a busy desk. He also took my numbers so if he can get to Keith he can tell me the results.
