Richard Fitzgerald was a full time, executive director when he mentioned it.
Fitzgerald lasts another 12 months after making the statement. So the fact that our CEO at the time, and Lerner's right hand man have both mentioned it, I think it's fair to say that for a while at least, there was indeed a five year plan.
