Beau,

I wanted to address this personally after someone brought it to my attention. Alvin Donovan and his group were removed from GAI over a year ago. When I first saw the controversy surrounding him and his group, whether it was true or not, was not something I was willing to be involved with. I've worked with hundreds of investors since Mr. Donovan. GAI success as an investment fund and my success are focused on investors that I have with William Morris Endeavor and many others that you have seen photos with etc. A lifetime has passed since EPF and Donovan. I wish him well, but the cannabis industry has enough drama on it's own without adding anything else that can cause further drama.
