Amanda could you please pass on to Gary,

Below is the bio of Ross Patten.  Ross has an interest in the waste management and recycling issue in Haiti.  He is fully aware that you are not looking for a company to come to Haiti and not leave anything sustainable behind.  I suggested that you and Ross talk directly.  Do you mind if I copy you on an email to him so he can directly arrange a time to speak.  As you can see he has an enormous amount of experience in the space, and when we spoke he was very clear about building out a sustainable enterprise in Haiti that eventually could be owned and operated fully by Haitians.
Thanks, Hunter.

Mr. Patten is the current Chairman and former CEO of Synagro (Nasdaq: SYGR, a $325 million revenue company engaged in recycling bio-solids and water & wastewater residuals). Mr.Patten has led the increase in revenues at Synagro from $34 million in 1998 to over $325 million in 2004 through the successful execution of a growth and acquisition strategy. Prior to joining Synagro, Mr. Patten enjoyed a 17-year career at Browning-Ferris Industries, where he last served as Divisional Vice President - Corporate Development. He also served as Executive Vice President for Development of Wheelabrator Technologies, a Waste Management, Inc. subsidiary, and Director and Vice President - Business Development at Resource NE, Inc. prior to its acquisition by Waste Management, Inc. Mr. Patten was a founder, principal and Managing Director of Bedford Capital, an investment firm specializing in environmental companies, and of Bedford Management, which provides consulting services to publicly held waste management and environment related companies in the areas of growth and acquisition strategy formation and implementation
