I keep returning, ad nauseum, I'm afraid, to the conversation I had with Mark Kay at the shareholders meeting 2 years ago. He said in no uncertain terms then that he hoped to sell the company in about a year. ( He also point blank refused to give a dollar amount)

I believe the temporary setback in the current litigation pushed back his time line, so here we are. Also, he's about 70, I'm sure he's ready to spend his days full time with the model trains and grandkids.
