I am grateful for your comment about our reputation of integrity. It is vitally important to us. As rising medical insurance costs are a universal problem, we are working diligently to determine which costs are in our influence of control to reduce. Through education and benefits structure we are hopeful to be a company full of the most skilled health care consumers so that we can counteract the overall trend. Managing growth without compromising culture and organizational health is a big challenge. If you see something heading the wrong direction, please, please, raise the issue. This is very important to us and we all must be adopters and protectors of what makes this a gratifying place to work. Thanks. - Dave Ruff, President
