[Public-List] Mast Sheave

[David Gilbert]

Gord, You are correct. I was in the shop when Bruce was trying to sell  
it. He knew I was a banker and he was complaining to me that there  
were lots of interested buyers out there but none had any money and  
they all wanted him to take back paper. My advice was not to touch it.  
Carolyn was there at the time listening in to the conversation so I  
said, "if you have to take back paper, sell it to her," and I pointed  
at Carolyn. She immediately responded, "that's what I keep telling  
him." She is doing a great job.
