Hi John Hope the jet lag is gone and you've caught up on everything. How long does it take for bids to be accepted?(Aprox.) I think it's great that companies don't give up on other countries if they have problems. It lets them know of your support and the rumor is that the worst could be over. One never knows what can or will happen(it could be us someday,improbable? but not impossible) Keep up the good work with PR. While on this subject how come news releases aren't automatically submitted to Carlson On-Line? Here is a copy of article found on Sedar site.
