When I reflect upon the last year, I remember the posts about the cases of Champaign being carried into the office at Pembrook Pines. I remember how important Sir Christopher was supposed to be relative to the Russian negotiations, and I remember the enthusiasm not only always shown on Tim Huff's face, but in the words he put on paper in his news releases. Bob Jones as well. I am convinced in my heart that Tim was duped. I am sure he never dreamed that he would "step down" as CEO, and I'm sure that was a huge disappointment to him, and that he believes he failed and let down many, many people, not just the cult-like shareholders. I believe him to be an energetic man, and will work very hard to vindicate himself, and prove that he can help build our Company into his original vision of a super hub, but slightly different in its ultimate composition. I believe that Dumas is a very smart man, but was also ineffective in his role as COB. I think the technological hurdles to launch the strat were unforeseen, even by the brilliant engineers working on the project, and I believe our smaller prototype was cleverly crafted to advance the ultimate goal, and will begin free flight in the upcoming months. I do not believe Tim Huff will lose his previously achieved paper fortune, but that in fact, within a relatively short time, it will be worth more than ever before. Same holds true for Caterham financial. There is a reason that the company is still alive, (Mide has alluded to this many times)and I believe the K-men have removed us from the ventilator, and we are growing stronger every day in the step down unit, and soon will be discharged home for some rehab, and further strengthening. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. My belief is that we will look very different in both reputation and financially, price per share included come March 1, 2007. All my own opinion. Happy Holidays to everyone. May you be healthy and happy. Life is very precious and short, and must be enjoyed as much as possible. Finally, may everyone (except shorts) prosper with GTEM in this coming year. docS
