We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the significant level of progress already made by several project teams. These groups met the challenges of summer vacations, heavy business workloads, coordination of schedules for conference calls and the like. Each project team is well on the way to making the 2009-2010 EDRM Projects successful. Thanks to all.
