Life 4/10/07 - Anyone wondering about Greg Cope would know to look at my bio since he never posted one on Classmates. So this is as good a place as any to announce that Greg is no longer with us.

This isn't a sales pitch because I don't give a crap if anyone here buys it at this point. We've been all over the news and even on Jay Leno so we can't keep up with demand anymore - it really cuts in to my skiing time. Since the last posting we gained the support of the (real) medical community and now 1000s of pediatricians and hospitals support and recommend us. Bragging? Okay! Fine! Hell yes! After rising to semi-decent heights and crashing and burning so many f-ing times - hell yeah! I plan to sell the company and retire within the next 36 months. Then I will be unemployed and looking for a place to crash. You ...Expand for more
