Hello, Bill,

Thank you for this very helpful announcement about the annual meeting.  
Kurt and I have never been to one.  Does the entire event end at 2:30, 
or do sales continue afterward--or alongside the meeting?  How is is 
arranged?

We're very sorry to read that Charles Rager is in the hospital.  He's in

our thoughts.

Maria
