Thanks everyone for your support. I consider it a privlege to serve on the board of the GPC. The GPC is going in a great direction under good leadership. I just hope I can live up to my end of the bargain. So, Dave let's schedule the next pumpkin cruise to the Orient for a goodwill tour. Seriously, though it is an honor. If anyone has any contacts or leads for this region, please contact me so I can begin the process.

thanks, Jim
