ShakeyGuy, nothing to be sorry for....
The post you comment on was not in reference to comments you made (though you guys do address one similar situation..where is Searfoss?) but completely directed towards WayHaw, who very obviously did not know of Searfoss' current standing. And that confusion is actually very understandable, given the rampant speculation (without any disent that i've witnessed) that Searfoss is gone -This stuff has been circulating on multiple boards for quite some time now.
--------------
"I would have thought this was his job. Did I miss something and he's no longer with the company? I know there was speculation but don't recall seeing it for fact." -WayHaw
----------------
Shakeyguy and WayHaw, imo, you both have valid concerns as to Searfoss' visibility, but i, in past post was not addressing that issue. When Rocky, mentioned to you WayHaw
(paraphrasing), "Who better to send to the Convention, then the President of Sanswire Wireless LLC. (refering to Bob Jones at Telecom05)? A good answer might have been.....the CHAIRMAN Sanswire Wireless LLC. -Searfoss.
So looking now at Searfoss' recent "contributions" to GTE, one could easily be tempted to say, " Hey, i don't read a thing about this ex-astronaut except that he's piloting some experimental rocket somewhere... Why no GTE press!"
But is it not conceivable, that he functions more behind the scenes, similar to other high level players GTE has managed to bring on board. Working on contracts such as these that T. Huff refered too, but yet to officially land:
---------------------
"On the commercial front, we are in advanced funding discussions with several government and commercial parties who have fully embraced the world-changing nature of this new wireless platform. Because we have signed Non-Disclosure Agreements with several of these parties, we are not permitted, at this stage, to disclose their identities. However, we are optimistic that, during the course of the next couple of months we will have secured one or more "strategic partnerships".
---------------------------
It would seem very unorthodox to state publicly, "Searfoss is in non-disclosure talks with interested Gov't parties for Strats...". -Gee, i wonder which department an ex-astronaut would be peddling too. [Yeah, not going to happen]
Also, did we a GTE know M. Molen was schlepping strats to the Columbian President until the deal was done? Some things are best not revealed until the end.....
Also, in fairness, what have we read regarding the efforts of
Sir. Christopher Meyer, Leo A. Daly III, Dumas, & Leigh?
[Side note: can tell you Daly III pitched GTE to Meyer, but you won't read it in any press release....they are buds. Daly did a fine job here! imo of course.]
Lastly, is it not also conceivable that Searfoss could have been placed on the board at the request of NASA/etc. -their point man at GTE so to speak? So NASA knows what's going on in the boardroom, maybe?!?
Food for thought.....
hope this helps,
