When Larry informed me and our Board that he was contemplating retirement from full time service, we asked that he remain and help recruit and retain a highly qualified replacement, which is precisely what Larry did when he recommended Mark as his successor. We are grateful that Larry will continue to serve on our Board and provide on-going guidance to the Company.
