I want to extend many thanks again to all of you wonderful helpers who so quickly came to contribute in these two weeks to make a fast transition in to the new space. I especially want to say thank you to JASON “BEAR” BERRETT, LENNIE HIGGINS, ANDY DUPREE and SUSAN LUX for your overtime and assistance beyond the call of duty. And, thank you Debbi, for the long hours you put in with me and tolerated without me!
