Hey Al, yes, I will call Brad at FNRC investor relations next week to see if he can shed any light on what is going on with the share conversion. Actually, I don't mind waiting maybe a few weeks or even a couple of months, but anything beyond Christmas would be a case of them going back on their word, especially after the very specific June 9th announcement concerning the conversion of the Series E to the common. They said it would be done immediately, if requested. OK, so let's get going FNRC and do what we say. I like FNRC and trust management, but they need to get off the dime on this one. Integrity is really important and once it is gone it is very difficult to get back.
I would be very surprised if the CEO, Mr. Norris, does not read this board from time to time, even if for nothing more than entertainment. If I were CEO, I would read this board to keep up with what is being said on the public message boards about my company, although I would not post anything here. What we say here may not be important, but it gives a flavor of how folks view FNRC. Maybe that's why I'm not a CEO :)
New Zealand? Wow, you are way down there in the southwest Pacific. Are you on North Island or South Island? I've been to Hawaii, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, but never ventured way down there to New Zealand. When I was in the U.S. Army I knew a guy in the Australian Army. He really had one of those accents :)
Anyway, I ramble sometimes because I like to write. I will try, however, to stay on topic with FNRC.
Have a good one way down under,
