We have a wonderful platform to build on and I plan to use my almost 35 years of experience with our various businesses to continue expansion and reinvention, which is so critical in today's complex global business environment.  David Unger has been a tremendous mentor to me and I look forward to our continued collaboration as we navigate the many challenges and opportunities which will shape the future of our enterprise.
