Nice to see that ONE of our GMs is in FULL CONTROL of her faculties! :-o

I have known Dr Bob for over 11years despite what is said about him or what people think I have never known him be anything other than open & honest when asked a direct question! I thought it was a good interview with no spin :ymapplause:

Robert has always been open and frank with me. His enthusiasm for the project is unbelievable and he has always listened when we have spoken.

You cannot doubt the enthusiasm. It oozes out of every pore doesn't it.

Mind you I think that is a fair statement for all those involved in the project.
