<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been watching the Hurricane news as it hit
the Gulf Coast. I was wondering if our world team manager Bryan and assistant
manager Brian, would be able to get back home OK. I was also wondering how all
our friends were coping as this storm did its worst.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope that you and all your loved ones all are
safe and well.</FONT></DIV>
