Mr. Crawford; Thank you, Steve. I recognize everybody's been sitting down for quite a while here, so if you'd like to take just a few seconds and stand up and stretch, that's fine. You know, loosen up a little bit. I know I need to do that. OK. We'lltry to stay on track here and get started. As Steve mentioned, I'd like to discuss today some of the preservative treated wood testing that we have been conducting at Simpson Strong-Tie over approximately the last 9 months. But, before I get started on that, I'd like to just get an idea of the makeup of the room here. So, I'm kind of curious as to how many of you are associated with a chemical supplier company, if you'd raise your hand. OK, This is the audience participation part of this presentation. And you can raise your hand more than once if I call a different category. How many of you are associated with a wood treatment company? OK. And, any scientists and chemists and members of academia? OK. I want you to make a special note, those of you that raised your hand there, cannot ask any questions at the end of this presentation. Are there any specifiers, engineers, architects, or anybody like that? I was afraid I'd be alone today. OK.
