who was Dan Meyers ?

and who was John Coons ?

Dan Meyer was the co-founder of ISP and is an engineer. He got frustrated with Gary's constant pay Gary first tactics and left. I do not know precisely when he was bought out as a stockholder. Certainly no later than when Melodi Rosenfield was bought out (by Coker, Gates, Biba). Follow the money :)

I only know what other people feel compelled to tell me, which seems to be alot, but I put no affirmative effort into folowing the trevails of AT/ISP.

Don't know about Coons, but Paul Hans was also a co-owner at the time of Melodi, and Dan. Paul financed most of the molds.

Hmm. What leads you to this conclusion? AT has become _the_ major supplier of mid and high power hobby rocket motors. Prior to the fire, they had far more availability than any other composite manufacturer. I'm certainly no business expert but it looks to my untrained eye like Gary has been very successful with AT. As far as I can tell (as an outside observer), the biggest setbacks AT had were Gary's divorce and the fire, and those kinds of things could happen to any business.

Gary personal bankruptcy

AT bankruptcy

ISP bankruptcy

EVERY partner pissed and left

Monopoly but STILL cannot deliver in a timely fashion (fire or not).

Uses a router to cut propellant and stores DRUMS of the scrap in the CENTER of the shop in an INDUSTRIAL PARK and REFUSED approaches for offsite storage and immediate propellant manufacture after the incident.

Underinsured.

A "dick" on a personal level.

Of 2000 zealots (a 90% reduction from 10 years ago) Impressive :-)

I agree

Jerry

Yes. He does.

To quote Ray Dunakin himself from today:

"Wrong on both counts. I do think there should be some balance in how we approach these things."

This coming from a TRA apologist and Bankruptcy apologist.

Then what about YOUR bankruptcy, jerry? What does that tell us about you?

The bankruptcy was the result of an accident which was made worse by the fire department. That has nothing to do with Gary's business abilities.

The quote you used is from an entirely different subject (environmentalism). And what about your fire, and your bankruptcy? Ever hear the old saying about people who live in glass houses??

Sheesh!

1. There was no fire. Period.

1. There was no corporate bankruptcy and I for one hope nobody ever steals your entire busines then sues you to cover it up, then you get divorced. I would not wish that on anyone.

Jerry

I guess the lawsuits from victim's relatives for unsafe working conditions, IIRC, wasn't the fault of management either?

Mark Simpson NAR 71503 Level II God Bless our peacekeepers

My understanding is the victims are limited by workman's comp as to what they can sue for.

They are limited to $50k ea from the FD too.

The lawsuits are from neighbors lawyers and investors.

If you say so. I do not agree.

Phil

You are an apologist to the end. Dead people or not. You are truly sick.

AT was insulated from claims by the offending employee by workmans comp. In hindsight that is a law that is good for business.

Too bad the FD burnred down all his neighbors and insulated themselves from lawsuits witha self-serving $50,000 liability limit. That has to be a challengeable thing. Too bad AT doesn't have the money to persue it and their lawyers (who were paid over $750,000 that I know of) are primarilly interested in running up the bills on travel and minutia, and NOT persuing the core issues.

On that point Gary was screwed severely by each and every one of his "employees" and "professionals" throughout this debacle.

The system is broken when your own hired professionals are determined to simply be vultures.
