I think Gary Morse is a genius..I admire him greatly. I also think that Mark Morse doesn't head off to the bathroom without the old man knowing it.

Plus..there is a lot of history in American business where the first generation starts something, the second generation builds on it, and the following generations either live off the fat of the land or sell it off.

I'm not trying to start any trouble here, but as the poster pointed out Mark Morse would not stand up and tell a packed house that they are selling out. (or even THINKING of selling out) Even if they were to sign the papers the next day. That's just not the way business happens.

And again, there's no reason to think that they might sell off. But if they were it wouldn't be announced until it was a done deal and the ink on the contracts was dry.
I agree completely. They are business people and they have houses to sell. If there are any announcements to be made, it will be after buildout. Of course they may stay involved after buildout, that remains to be seen. Things happen, and as with all things, there are no guarantees.
