Yes, of course meant months (not years) but the point is the same. Again not taking anything away from Grinstein but RA not only led the charge regarding the merger but more importantly, fashioned a heck of a plan for ongoing profitability. Yes, much of it is off the backs of us FFers but understandably, stockholders love him.

And I will even give credit to Ed Bastian. Another who is not a FFP fan but he runs one heck of an operation.
