Dear Joe,

Your email and understanding is very much appreciated. You are correct in that, as difficult as it is, I've been instructed by our SEC counsel and DM not to say anything during this sensitive period. I've received many emails and phone messages and have responded back to most of them even though all I could say is that "I can't say anything", and to direct them to the 8-K filing. Surprisingly, many people responded with a thank you and were understanding. I've learned that in situations like this the worst thing you can do is totally ignore people.

I wish you and your family a safe and festive 4th of July holiday.

Sincere regards,
Fred

Final comment from me.....if DM were bailing, why would they give him instructions to remain silent as well as the SEC attorney? Because they remain on the job maybe? Of course they are!
