Good job on getting through Michael-- I tried several times to talk to Mr. Paltridge but kept getting a recording. Mr. Haber gave me the info on Orex in my previous post, and he seemed upbeat about the future. He is always understated and never is a rah rah type in all the many talks I'v had with him over the last 1 1/2 years. I'm very happy Mr. Paltridge is doing PR for us because I think PR and marketing are what will make or break us. We have the best alternative but as stated before there are a lot of better alternatives that never make it for lack of timely PR and marketing expertise. My faith is with Mr. Haber. He is definitely the type of guy who, having given birth to this science, is not about to let all these many years of trying to gain acceptance within the scientific community, to finally achieve that, and let it go to waste. But he is a scientist, not a marketing or PR guy. He needs the right kind of help with that and with the financing. I don't know if Mr. Paltridge is the right guy but I intend to try and find out about his credentials. We seem to be on the right track. As far as the cyanide issue goes, I'v been following the Montana initiative for over a year now and saw it's significance as a possible environmental victory of mammoth proportions. For a group of citizens to take on the mining/chemical money rich lobby and their political connections and win is huge for us. If this type of grass roots legislation continues, and I think it will, it means mining co.'s will be forced to take a look at alternatives to cyanide that otherwise would be overlooked. If Orex goes as planned, look out! Regards, Bob Lembo
