Mr. Wheeler
Hiramatsu-san, thank you very much. We are very happy to visit here and we enjoy the
facility here, especially the B-Con Plaza and the hotel's reception hospitality. Everything
here has been really great and we really appreciate it. Thank you.
As usual with our activities in this kind, I don't attend to give along speech, but I thought it
might be useful to give one or two words to greet you here. My wife and I would like to
say something on behalf of all of the people, SC6 meeting members. We say that our heart
goes out to the people of Kobe who suffered so much. The resident of Kobe and area
where we were originally suppose to have a meeting. And we hope that those are suffered
such a great loss in the disaster of earthquake in January, will quickly rebuild their city and
surrounding areas and we wish them God's speed and in rebuilding and recovering.
And in the mean time, we are very grateful to the people and community of Beppu for
greeting us here and providing such a great facility for our meeting, one of the best
meetings that we have ever had. Now I think that we should go ahead and proceed us
eating and have a good time while we are over here.
Thank you.
