Thanks
On a personal note, each ISC person whose position was eliminated, was contacted
by phone and explained the reasons for the decision. In each case, the individuals
understood and graciously accepted the decision. They made a tough job much
easier by their understanding and acceptance of the needed changes. To each of the eliminated people, my sincere thanks for the manner in which you accepted the news.
