Dear Friends:
Thanks for all of the support.
It has been great to reconnect with so many old friends.
You might not know that
an Oregon judge awarded me a sizable judgment in my lawsuit against
Gary Fadden and Fadden/Mar Company (dba Al Mar Knives).
Over several days of testimony,
and through the discovery process that led up to trial, I heard what
I thought were outrageous reasons for my receiving zero income from
my 40% ownership in Fadden/Mar Co. for the past 13 years.
While this case is now
tied up in an appeal, it has only delayed the introduction of new
knives we now have in production.
In the meantime, I am excited
to report that I am pursuing opportunities to license some of my late
husband's designs to other knife manufacturers. I'll keep you posted
as things develop.
Thank you again for your
emails and phone calls. While the launch of our new Mar Cutlery has
only been delayed a bit by the appeal, your support means a lot to
me.
Best Regards,
Ann Mar
