Phil, We just wanted to wish you the very best of luck in your new venture, and to thank you so much for all the help and advice you have given us since 1999. In all that time our property has been fully occupied by just two tenants, both of whom you introduced to us. Our present tenant has been with us since 2004 and is an exemplary tenant. Over the years we have,of course, needed advice regarding our property, and you, with your infinite knowledge, have helped us many times. Thank you so much, Phil.
