Carl,

Is this true or is this an early April Fool's stunt?

If it is true, the news is welcome and I wish you much success.

a) What happens to the Semroc name?

You forgot those little laughing emoticons - or do you not get the joke?

Good point, because I'm sure some people would have thought that.

WOW after contacting my contacts at Wal-Mart, I found out that I can be a joint owner of Estes-Cox too!

Yeah! At like $0.25/share! And now look, it is going for $4.97 and sometimes $6.97/share! Think it is time for you to SELL!


Good one Carl! I read the thread title and thought 'OMG, this is awesome!"..LMBO

Default You got me going!!!

Carl:

I was already day dreaming about all the re-releases SECCI (Semroc-Estes-Cox-Centuri Industries) was going to offer. I was also thinking of what kind of excuse I would tell my wife for purchasing so many of those new releases... ah, the Super Kits, the Flying Saucer, Super Scales... and then it dropped on me like a ton of bricks...

That was a good one Carl... well played. I still like you and the company so you have not lost me as a client.

Sorry about the delay in response. This was supposed to be a "live" Q&A, but Sheryl and I had to run to the grocery store for a few minutes to stock up Semroc World Headquarters for a 30 hour session.

While there, she reminded me that she is also the Quality Control department, so that will have to be added. And I would not bring up money. She might find out that Alice makes more working at Wal-Mart.
