So... My father's life's work is heading for the auction block?

pray it goes to someone who doesn't chop it up.

Thank you, all, for coming, and, uh, a special thanks to the folks who came in from Chicago, Uh, where we've enjoyed a great run.

But... A wise man once told me, "If you stay in one place long enough, You'll never go anywhere."

Which is why my daughter and I are very pleased to announce that thorpe enterprises is packing up and moving east to New York City.

I was planning to get settled before I dove into business, But I'm a restless man.

So I've decided to set my sights high on a company that has just this minute come back up on the block-- My dear departed friend's bass industries.

Looks like "Page six" Of this party will read, "The world according to thorpe."

So... Cheers to new friends And inevitable enemies.

Forget your usual suspects, upper east siders.
