Ray (if I may) -
Thank you for your response.
My direct work number is 478.3005, the main switch is
478.3000. I am usually here by 7:00 am.
My home number is 475.1330. If this is busy (internet
connection!), the alternative number is 475.1332 but if you
use the 2nd number, allow me time to run upstairs.
I look forward to meeting you.
Regards -
Peter Cotterell
