Thank you Steve, for the update on Doug Kaplan.

This has been a difficult week for Global.  Rodney Turner's father passed
away on Saturday.  We have sent flowers on behalf of everyone at Global.
Rodney will understandably be out of the office for a couple of days.

Our prayers and wishes go out to both families.
