Thank you very much.
Thank you for filling in today. It's nice to have you here.
I have just a couple of matters. First, I'd like to welcome new members. I'd like to welcome everybody back, of course. I look forward to this year. We have two new members, Bryan Hayes and certainly Bob Zimmer.
I think everybody on this side was here last year, am I correct?
So mainly seasoned, but some new blood coming in; that's always a good thing.
Mr. Harris.
