Hi Dan,

Thanks so much for your feedback. I appreciate your taking the time to share
your thoughts with me. I had an interview today where a figure was suggested
that is a bit lower than my expectations, but the feedback I have received
from several other people is that a reasonable amount would be about $30K.

Deborah
