We had the family meeting again at the Plantation. It was a brisque meeting to say the least. As a family we witnessed a sort of catharsis by one branch of the family, had to decide on whether to lease to a new person and try to sort out the cell phone tower doings.
We did indeed settle the new lease deal but the results are not for me to discuss. It was interesting in that we had the two competitors stand before us and make their offers. It was interesting and we had lots of questions. I am sure to some extent both were somewhat dismayed that they had to perform before a large audience of owners and not just before a couple of old geezers.
It was interesting in that there were lots of folks there, several generations were represented. Babies to grandparents were in attendance. I thought that was out standing and well received by all. We had folks from California, Texas, Colorado, West Virginia and of course, Louisiana. Getting to be a big dynasty now.
The cellphone tower gets to be more and more intriguing. More money offered to sign up now but longer terms and over all less rent. Even threats to reduce the rent and our answer is, "Okay, take it down." One of our many young new in-laws had a working knowledge and he said they would do just about anything not to take the tower down. Very hard to get licenses, etc. and of course location is important. So we finally had a committee of techs to evaluate and recommend what we should do. The tower location covers a lot of turf including coverage well into West Feleciana parish across the river from us.
We also enjoyed fine food. Well prepared and very tasty. Lots of snacks including pralines, cracklings and crawfish dips. It was unending and all good to eat.
We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Walter and his wife for all that they have done.
The good news is the beat goes on.
