I sent Sandy O'Halloran an email thanking her for ADPT's use of Vcall to include us private investors on conference calls at little to no expense. Her reply appears below. If this works out, we should all let ADPT know we like it and appreciate it. "I thought it would make you happy recalling your correspondence suggesting it a while back. I actually think it is pretty cool stuff and the management is totally behind it. Thanks for your support and let me know what you think after the call. Regards, Sandy"
