I am extremely pleased with the Board's actions to promote the careers of some extremely talented and deserving individuals. We extend many thanks to both Steve Baumann and Mike Steeves for their years of service and loyalty to the Company. And, of course, we very much look forward to Mr. Danni's participation in the next phase of the Company's development. This really is a new Company.
