Not sure how much good it would do to fall in w/one of the small companies. I could be wrong, but I believe I've attended a couple of field days or company meetings sponsored by some the above mentioned new acquisitions. I can remember them opening with the statements, "we're a family owned business with no outside shareholders or partners & we aim to keep it that way....! (Speaker is drowned out by cheering crowd....). Well-it's a new day for some of them. |
