PS - I will not participate in a call on Yom Kippur. I would prefer not to be on a call on Thanksgiving. Therefore I prefer September 29 and December 1. I am indifferent to the date of the other December call but probably preferable on the 22nd to allow maximum passage of time from the prior call. Philip S.
