Heartfelt thanks to Linda Albert for her willingness to get involved in the 'Dee Tee experience' and for the terrific performance of Rampillion in her care. Everyone who made the trips to Delaware, Bowie and Charles Town had memorable times, and the Mid-Atlantic expirement can only be termed a complete success. Thanks have to be added prominantly to Tom Baldwin (phystech) for initiating the program, and we hope to turn around and find a new runner for Linda quickly.

I guess I'll ask the question. My understanding was that the Aldeb/Rampy partnership was a "close ended" deal versus the previous. Is this true and how are purse funds and the claim money being distributed, if at all?

There's options. A new claim.. A small distribution.. After expenses and money that goes to Chuck/Linda, there's really not a significant amount per share to distribute. Tom Baldwin offered to split a claim ($7.5k?, $10k?).

If we are taking a vote I vote for a new claim.

Sorry

I'm in the other camp. Thought this wasn't an endless partnership. If there is enough money for a new claim, then I think it should be dispersed and if there is a claim that develops from that, then those folks can get together on it. But, majority rules I guess so we'll see.

I'm with Bob. I'd rather we kept the two seperate.

I think Bob makes a good point. Things could get really complicated if new partners come in on a new claim, with Aldeb being part of the same original agreement. I have no problem investing $ on a new purchase or claim, but it may be easier for all if we keep it seperate from Aldeb. Personally I'm still trying to figure out where we stand on SWLY. All in all...I'm going to miss the speedy little midget horse.
