Deborah,

In reference to the deadline of Dec. 31 in an article you read in the Times
Picayune, what is the deadline for?  Was an insurance extension granted
perhaps?  I know it was requested by some of our leaders that are trying to
help us but I don't know if it was granted or if that is what the article
you read was even about.  Thanks,

Laurie
