Just a brief note to thank all of you for your kind words by PM and e-mail these last few days. I was very touched by the number of people that came from all parts of Canada and the US to support my family during this difficult time. I don't pretend to be as well-liked or respected as Dad was, but I am very grateful for the outpouring of thoughts and prayers from the broader Agoracom community. I even received a very touching note from GNH expressing their condolences- how many other explorecos can you think think of that would go to that trouble for a retail shareholder? We are indeed a family of sorts here at the GNH hub that has endured both good and difficult times together this year. Yes we have had to deal with the odd "delinquent teenager", or "drunken uncle", but as a group I believe we are stronger and more united for it. I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful community and look forward to celebrating the success of this company and others with you all in 2011 and beyond.

Warmest holiday wishes to you and yours,

Scott Heximer
