It is a shame Eric didn't manage to sell his shares 2 years ago, as I believe that if he had, then he'd have always been seen as a true heroic figure. As it stands, his legacy is crumbling and I truly feel sad about that.

Thanks for your forthright and insightful post.
Absolutely, Eric always said if we got back in the FL he would go because he didn't have the clout (cash) needed, why didn't he keep his word, all the missed opportunities do annoy me and I would love to enjoy the Stanley experience once again, cheers for the memories Eric but please step aside.
