Kolence: Thank you very much, Fran. You know, it's really a pleasure to be here; I doubt if Mr. Ramsay realizes that I'm the one that founded SIGCOSIM--back in 1960 when I was in New Jersey at RCA. I felt very deeply the need for installation management techniques for improvement of ways to run an installation. That was while I was at RCA, and shortly thereafter, I moved to North American. I tried to get people in L. A. interested in forming a chapter and moving ahead with SIGCOSIM. It turned out that most of the people there were interested in SHARE; I got involved with the SHARE Installation Management Division. I did quite a bit in SHARE, but finally turned SIGCOSIM over to somebody else because I realized I wasn't able to make it successful. I suppose now somebody turned it over to you, and you're doing a great job. I want to applaud you very, very strongly.
