Well, Arbutus and Bill here I am again. You get sick and tired of hearing me stick my comments in here from time to time, but at least it keeps things up to date. I picked up this reel, and it's a talk we gave at the Cook Forest conference. Arbutus, you'll recall, we had talked about this. The date was May 21, 1966. And it's quite an impressive place. I hope that you and Bill have an opportunity to speak up there at some early future date. It's in the pine forests of northwestern Pennsylvania. Very beautiful country. Very tall pine trees.

In fact, the AA talk, which was scheduled right afterward, was canceled and postponed until later that evening inside an enclosure at another facility. So here we go. My name is Bob.
