So this is one I've been looking forward to for a long time, Mr. Shakman. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us today. Shakman: You are welcome. DePue: I should mention that we're in his offices, and if you could mention the business where you work. Shakman: We're a law firm, and its name is Miller, Shakman, and Beam.
