<DIV>Dear Alden,</DIV>
<DIV>I understand your disappontment. However, despite this small setback, we can support our neighbors to the north and see how we might help them. Last time I looked Greywood was fewer in numbers than ourselves and they are much more isolated. Do you know who successfully won the bid other than just the group name? </DIV>
