<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Honorable
Sir, Kahuna!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Please
- forgive me my audiaciousness to write You on the direct way. But as I hope
You soon will see that there is a good reason for this act of
disrespectfulness.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">According
to my opinion we have got a member amongst Your
followers to deserve a very special decoration for his extraordinary
fortitude. Though heavily tortured by a painful malady he didn't miss his
duties for just one day and continued guiding our more or less trivial
communication from his sickbed.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thus I
would like You to vote for the nomination of this brave man for a
"Medal of Acquittal", but in the golden format.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Kahuna,
Sir, I'm one of Your lowest subjects, unworthy to deserve a private audience in
Your 'Holy Grale", but I'm convinced that some of Your Majesty's honorable
confidants of the Olden Time may be able to counsel You in this case.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Please
don't insist on me to mention the name of this man - I should feel to be a
kind of silly lobbyist then. I'm sure Your Majesty will agree at once -
there is definitely only one single possibility.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Your
most humble servant, Sir, also dares to suggest to give this brave man an
eternal extraordinary place in Your 'Hall of Honour'.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Your's
respectfully</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

Meibohm</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

Thanks, Jonny.<br>
<br>
If it is who I think you are referring to, I have to say that the Kahuna has
been taking his presence and engagement for granted. So he looked a bit
perplexed for a minute or so when I submitted your petition to him. However, the
subservient, grandiose tone of your submission must have made a difference (and he
is a sucker for pomp and circumstance, as you know), for it prompted him to induct
the following seven Lowlanders into the Hall of Honor:</span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"></span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">David B. Frank</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Jenny Kool</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"></span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Lucas Annear</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Paul Anisman</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Reinhard "Ron" Hahn</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Robert Haslach</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Wolfram Antepohl</span></span></li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
So congratulations to the new inductees!<br>
<br>
Anyone should feel free to nominate his- or herself or anyone else if there is
some sort of merit, usually in the form of participation.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron</span></p>
