you got it - family business - is all. Gerald's strong educational background is limited to a college degree and sports. Master level graduates and higher are usually whats sought after in the real world. No one is says the kids prior 5 years in the trenches isn't worth anything of value. All said and done, we'll just agree to disagree regarding Geralds qualifications & abilities to run this security successfully. News Flash - Gerald is the spokesperson and IMHO, a poor one at that - and taking it one step further, he is out of touch with Wall St. psychology and just how to deliver to the Street. He won't even hire a proof reader to catch mistakes before PR's or Blog's hit the Street - something I've been on John about for the last 4 + months or longer....
