Good afternoon

Steven R. Gerbsman, Principal of Gerbsman Partners, is pleased to announce the successful termination of a life science prohibitive real estate lease and the restructuring of accounts payable and intellectual property creditor issues.

The life science company needed to accomplish the above in order to obtain the necessary “bridge financing” to provide runway for a round of “expansion capital funding”.

Gerbsman Partners assisted by:

1. creating a strategic plan to accomplish the successful termination of the prohibitive real estate lease
2. negotiating with the real estate lessor and finalizing the termination of the lease
3. negotiating with numerous accounts payable and creditor issues to restructure the balance sheet

 Gerbsman Partners is the “innovator” in creating strategies to terminate or restructure prohibitive real estate leases and senior and sub-debt obligations, as well as creditor issues.  To date, we have terminated or restructured over $810 million of such obligations for private and public companies, which has allowed the potential of returning the company to financial viability.

Happy Mothers Day to All Mothers

I woke up this morning and by the front door were beautiful roses and a box of chocolate (below) from our son, daughter in law and grandson.  I placed them on the dining room table so when my wife got up she would wake up to a “Happy Mothers Day”.

To me, the roses and flowers represent “the internal beauty” that Mothers have and the “support of life” that they give to their children.

The chocolates represent the “sweetness of life” that Mothers nuture, guide and provide wisdom for their children.

Fathers are important, but Mothers are the key to the development of goodness, happiness and ethics of life.  That’s why we live on “Mother Earth”.

The attached card was signed by them, but the most endearing line was that is was from “the KIDS”.

Wishing all a happy, healthy and safe day and to my lovely and dear wife, thank you for being a great MOTHER.

With respect and love from “The GERBS”

Good evening and “thank you” to the UNC AEPi Fraternity Brothers who protected and secured our flag.

This afternoon I watched in awe on TV, as my Fraternity Brothers at AEPi, stood their ground to protect the symbol of liberty, freedom and justice.  

Protestors (who have a constitutional right to protest, but not commit crimes or endanger people or property) took down “Old Glory” on the campus of UNC and put up the Palastinian flag.

The UNC chancellor then took down Palestinian flag, re-flew US flag.  My AEPi Borthers and other fraternity members then protected the flagpole.  They prevented the Flag from hitting the ground.

My Father and Uncle, members of the “greatest generation” who fought in WW!!, instilled in me that you NEVER EVER EVER let our Flag hit the ground.  In memory of the commitment to freedom of that generation, you protected our symbol of democracy and freedom at all costs.

Please see the article below.

I have been a member of AEPi since my freshman year of College.  To this day, my best friends/family are the people I met then.

With much respect and proudness, I wish my Brothers long life and prosperity and may they pass along the values of AEPi to their future offspring.

(NewsNation) — Enduring insults, middle fingers and flying water bottles, about a dozen fraternity brothers stood their ground around the American flag at the University of North Carolina on Tuesday.

“These people wanted to tear down the flag, and we were there to protect it,” Pi Kappa Phi member Brendan Rosenblum told NewsNation’s “On Balance.” “Me and my friends did not allow that to happen.”

The standoff began when pro-Palestinian protestors raised the Palestinian flag on the pole. UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts, accompanied by police officers, took it down and re-hung the U.S. flag, which was flying at half-staff in honor of the law enforcement officers killed Monday in Charlotte. 

When Roberts left and protesters tried again to take down the American flag, Rosenblum, some of his fraternity brothers and other students stepped in. They surrounded the flagpole, and kept the big flag from touching the ground. Rosenblum also held an Israeli flag.

“All of us felt that America, and the American flag — and for me, the Israeli flag — represent what we believe in,” he said.” And we weren’t going to let anyone stop us from keeping those two things up.”

By Tuesday evening, crews erected a chain-link fence around the flag pole.

The video of the fraternity brothers protecting the flag attracted hundreds of thousands of views on multiple platforms, inspiring someone to set up a GoFundMe page for the fraternity brothers.

“Throw ‘em a Rager,” the page reads. As of Thursday morning, more than 11,500 people had donated a total of more than $377,000.

“Armored in Vineyard Vines and Patagonia, fueled by Zyn and White Claws, these triumphant Brohemians protected Old Glory from the unwashed Marxist horde,” the GoFundMe page organizers wrote.
