Too many summers have past with those little nuggets and we didn't get a contract - I don't think it worked slick. Why keep trying the same thing.

"Hepner is playing this like a fine fiddle. He has Pierce and Moak in a box." You put these guys on a pedestal like great Chess players and I don't like telling you this because it does weaken us all. They are not playing Chess, not even Checkers, but instead Marbles. These are the same guys playing with you and your families future. They continue to help the company keep money out of your pocket. You are an self described "Old Cap" so it doesn't matter to much, but what about those pulling gear for you? You want to cut them some slack and help them get a piece of the pie?
