Yes, sir.
Hi, Ron.
I'm sorry.
I was out of the office when you called.
That's all right.
That's all right.
Any developments on the box yet?
Not yet.
No, sir.
I wonder if you could check to see if they are finally getting at the damn stuff and when we'll have the dope.
Yes, I will immediately.
Somebody's over there.
Is that right?
I don't know.
Apparently they were going to open it at 4 or something like that, right?
Right.
Check immediately and get right back to you.
Thank you very much.
Okay, sir.
