Thank you for the report, Bill.  Much appreciated, especially after hearing about your travel problems.

Firstly I was disturbed to hear about Patricia's hospital visit, but glad to know she was at the company booth later.

Otherwise, I am not too surprised to learn of the low attendance at the company's presentation.  I would assume the other explorer's had a similar experiece.  Note that in the last few years many numbers of formerly very well attended annual mining investment conferences in North America (and elsewere) have been suspended for a lack of interest.  These were big city events that attracted thousands of people, but not these days. 

You didn't say, but I would assume there were some few more people at the panel discussion, no?

Again, thanks for the report.
