PROUD OF OUR RESPONSE. I will provide some updates at that time, but before I do that, I want to provide an important clarification. Yesterday, after looking at the computerized dispatch system, it seemed as if a call came from a second grader. It actually said the call came from a second grade teacher. That was a mistake. THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND I APOLOGIZE. AND I’LL EXPLAIN THAT TODAY. It didn’t come from a second grader. IT STANDS SECOND
