It's been a couple of bumpy weeks here, but it was a straightforward, standard board meeting about the functioning of Beacon Mutual from a strict business perspective.

The Beacon board, employees and management want to cooperate fully and the door is wide open.

Work is going on as usual and all 250 employees have been kept up-to-date.

There are still some practical concerns. We don't want to violate federal laws on disclosing employees' medical records but once that practical discussion occurs we can go forward from there.
