Dear Sir:

As a small investor, I really do not have a say in how "my company " is run.  I 
hope that you will make it possible for shareholders to nominate individuals to 
the boards of companies that they own.  Companies make statements such as 
"Business is not in the business of listening to shareholders."  Who then do 
they listen to?  They surely want shareholders to purchase shares and keep share 
prices up.  Japanese automakers listened to their customers.  American 
automakers belatedly decided to listen and are still trying to stem the loss in 
market share.  Perhaps some of the ideas of shareholders would improve their 
businesses.  

Thanks for your support in proposing changes.  Hang tough.
Davis
