An April QAR board meeting lead to a discussion of Rich Wilburn selling his interest in the partnership. A deal was competed in this same year.

This same year Brian Koster came on board to replace his dad, Ron Koster, from just obtaining his CPA certification. Ron had been with company since 1975 as Chief Financial Officer. Ron agreed to stay partially active for two years and even now does some work for Standard Properties, an entity in which he was a partner with Troy Stallard to fund some of Std Lab properties.
