[QUOTE="jolt, post: 9679567, member: 18142"] Even before 1980, the Blumes were already tired of Gary. Gary was given the title of President by the Blumes, but ultimately it was the Blumes who were in charge (they had well over 50% of the shares) and they were quite happy to subdivide TSR into quarters and shuffle Gary off to Cali in '83 so they wouldn't have to deal with him anymore. When Gary came back in '84, he had to appeal to the Board of Directors to move against the Blumes (as Gary had no individual power over the business). The board agreed with Gary's arguements and that was beginning of the end for just about everyone. As for Lorraine, she replaced the previous bad decision making with her own. She insisted Brom follow her recommendation on which paints to use for projects even though she knew nothing about painting and she grossly overvalued IP's that she owned (like Buck Rogers). She wasn't any better; she was just a different kind of bad. [/QUOTE]
