I chatted briefly with David Dungate Fri:
the results of my conversation with D.Dungate were meager, as he has NOT proven in our talks to be a real Forthcoming type of person. None the less FWIW here are those comments which I was able to drag from him:
*Prospects of sucess: "Im encouraged"
*AP and Calder: "on track" "fiber and clay very valuable"
imagine me asking a long convouluted question, and then he making a painfully brief answer, such as "They are on track" then a long pause with me waiting for the "rest" of his answer..which never came...!
* at that point I shifted tactics and made some kind of rueful and possibly humourous comment, at which he chuckled!
I,seizing the moment of having perhaps catching him for just a moment, off gaurd asked him if he believed there would be an actual sale by years end. to which he replied thoughtfully: "by Years end?....Yes."
that was about it other than his saying that they were "constantly working toward sales" and saying that they benifit from having "no debt" (altho' I(10-Z) believe that Cal has lent the Co. a fair amount of $ out of his pocket and does hope to be repaid at some point)
That conversation was mildly encouraging to me more by it's tone than by it's content, but I talked shortly thereafter with Cal and had a much more productive conversation ..which I shall report on later..after my fingers rest up.....10-Z PS I posted a version of this tidbit of information on the RB board (along with a bit of mild chastisment for those who continue dialogue with those lowlifes (excuse me,please) who have driven off most other honest posters from that board)....Honestly, I believe that it is much more the DIALOGUE with them that does the most damage...their posts if unanswered and ignored do minimal damage and honest conversation is enabled and allowed to bloom, if not flourish
