In the 3 "short" years I have been invested in POET, I cannot say it has not been exciting, even at the lows. Maybe this is because deep down I was still certain of this company's eventual success.

I liken the experience to raising our kids. We do everything possible to develop their independence and then they leave to start a life of their own. If this company does sell, I for one will miss the action surrounding its birth, development and possibilities for the future of technology. To have been given the privilege of taking part in any of this has been a true blessing, and to my fellow shareholders, a deep appreciation for your tremendous contibutions.

Happy Easter
