Hi Gang,

I am a newbie. . . newbie. . . newbie!!  GDI has been around for awhile and I really
do not know how I missed it.  I saw the opportunity many times, however it really
never impressed me that much. . . . . until now.  You guys are awsome with your
comments, suggestions, etc.  To say the very least. . . I am truly impressed and
grateful for this opportunity.  This is my first post and I look forward to doing this
many more times.  I did not take the time to sit down and think about what
I wanted to say. . . . just let it come out this way!

You know, not to get off the subject of GDI, but I had a very rough time back
in December of 2002 with an infectious disease that almost cost me my life.
I am 69 and have been retired from the DuPont Company, Deep Water,
New Jersey, since October of 1993.  I really look forward to a long and
prosperous time with GDI!!  Hope some of the mistakes that I have made
in the past week will not hinder me in this business.

Thanks for reading my note.  Hope to have some input as time goes by
in this business.

Best Wishes,

Tom Leighton  (wanted to put a smiliey here, but don't know how)?!
