I know it's been mentioned in a few different threads, but this guy's neck was on the line and he deserves a shout out for closing the deal, especially given how much crap we would have given him if it fell through.
Yes, the donors made it possible, and I'm sure Herbst and the trustees had to okay the deal, but he had to close it. And as Pitt shows, the money isn't everything. Apparently we almost lost it over money, especially when URI came up and essentially met all of his demands, and Pitt blasted the offer into crazy town.
Anyway, just wanted to say, great job on this one. If it's as right as it seems, it's the most important one of your career and I thank you for getting it done.
