Good afternoon HC ... surely you have to be joking ...
The CFO, who came on board earlier, left Wall Street in a daring move of entrepreneurial risk taking and has demonstrated that kind of high spirit despite the many setbacks through the years.
LW was a struggling somewhat new stock broker when Mike brought him on board to help with some sales of private placements. He wasn't a 'Wall Streeter' ... he was just like a few thousand others here in Houston. I know because I had an account with him. He did okay .... he bought whatever I told him to buy and sold whatever I told him to sell and charged his little commissions. The reason I retained him is that Dell Gibson and Mike Skillern used him. Believe me, LW did not 'step down' when he came on board with CYGX. And you don't even want to get into his 'vast' private business exprience.
Now, Malcolm has been at the helm for a while and has indeed overseen a lot of the advances in the science, but ...
this endeavor (in which we all participate tangentially as shareholders) is the creative brainchild of this man and his close associates.
... is just a little bit of a stretch. This was the brainchild of Mike Skillern. And yes, we were lucky to have Malcolm around.
I'm not trying to pick on you, but I'd prefer to see such glowing praise at least kept in perspective.
