tedwitt: excellent post. this is the type of post many of us bag-holders regularly put together in the middle of last year. as best as i can recall, in 2003, Andrew DeVries III made a move to buy a construction or building supplies company. in 2005 he hooked up w/Ammerman to do business w/Loftwerks which turned into all of this. i believe that PV said DeVries created the SLJB share structure and that may have been in the context of the nominee share selling. imo, w/o DeVries and PV actively promoting SLJB and coming up w/the ideas, SLJB will go nowhere other than possibly becoming a reflection of itself former self over another 18 year period as a family-run building supplies company.
