Rick , you know I am beginning to think that Bob Shane thought he could lease the name to a second group while still having the first group. Why would he take the 100K and ignore the agreement as we understand it. I know back in the day the New Christy Minstels (Randy Sparks) had at least 3 different groups touring as the NCM and someone collecting on all 3.
