Mr. NewMyer, could you please call Wayne T. Price at FLORIDA TODAY newspaper/Gannett News Service at (321) 242-3658? I'd like to use you as a source for an article I'm writing.

Answer
Hi, Wayne:

Sorry, I have been traveling the last couple of days and just saw this message.  Since it is Sunday night, I am electing not to call now, but, will call Monday morning.  I hope that works.  If I missed your deadline, let me know via email or telephone call.

Thanks,
