Thanks padron, You are totally correct. I am really glad that someone asked. In the meantime, I have been to a funeral for a friend and this has not been a really good month. Unfortunately, it was immediately after Sunpoop's post. I did not have anything to add.

Here is what happened.:We (my girlfriend and I did go to S.D. I did notify R.P. that I had planned on coming. (This was our vacation. More her's than mine), and she really deserved one. What happened was that R.P. called me on my cell on Monday late afternooon afer I arrrived (I was extremely surprised). Very nice of him. He told me that he really wanted to be there when I arrived but he would be really busy that week, with both companies. He told me he would be available on Wed P.M. or Fri. P.M. Unfortunately, that did not tie in with my vacation plans and I was really disappointed that I could not make either date, due to prior vacation commitments. He was very gracious, but we had a terrible cell phone connecttion ( my phones fault, and I ended up cutting the conversation short, my phone"s fault, not his.), and just never hooked up.

I do not think that I owe the board an apology, because nothing transpired. However, I probably owe R.P. an apology for not getting back to him. R.P. did more than I ever would have expected and surpised the hell out of me when he called me on my cell. It was, after all, my vacation, and other things just got in the way. Thanks for asking, and sorry, but I am sure that I could not add anything that Sunpoop did not report the three days earlier. Really just turned out to be bad timing on my part, right after Frank's report. Thanks, again, and sorry all that I had nothing to report.

T.K.
