What brought that about? S--I don't know for sure but I do know that money was always a problem. And getting money was always a problem. The constant battle in the business was money. Of course, the more you sold, the more cash deficit. I think they really started to consider selling when they started to have problems with the governor (Claude Kirk). The problems became major serious. At that point, they were getting a lot of advice. You either slow the business down, or get out of the business. At that time the directors were other than associates. And I remember they had a financial man from one of the major companies in New York as a director. They had many businesses men as a director. Jack Holm, the mayor of Miami was a director. They had directors who would advise Leonard and Jack, to sell the business. Plut the fact that they needed money. They were still trying to grow. They didn't stop. They needed more money. So with these people, who Leonard and Jack respected, told them to get out of the business. D--Do you know any of their names? S--Chester deveneux was a director. he was president or whatever it was of a major company on the New York Stock Exchange. Shellard Globe, made office furniture. There was a director on a major brokerage outfit. I can't think of the company. The company that took us public, that helped negotiate the sale of the company. Of course, George and Bernie were directors. I was a director. They had some pretty solid people on there. D--They were generally beginning to advise... S--Because of the problems with the state and because of the money problem They were advised to sell the compnay. I guess the problem with the state was the straw that broke the camel's back. We were shut down for 30 days. That was probably it.
