something to keep an eye on, page-24

Sharman,

I checked the buy/sells for that day and I thought it was broken up into 3 or so large trades and not one large 3 million share trade though.

Sorry if I am asking a lot of questions. I typically like to do that until I feel comfortable with the situation.

I have one other question and I dont want anyone to take it the wrong way, but..... In yesterdays announcement it indicated that GGG folks were spending quite a bit a time flying around the globe to different trade events during the late Spring and early Summer. At this point, with the cash flow crunch and shares for pay plan for the employees, is this really the best use of their time and most value added? Are these trade events productive? Do we make enough contacts and establish enough relationships to make this value added at this point of the companies development? Flights from Australia to Greenland are $3,000 round trip easy and that is without hotel, food, entertainment etc. Could GGG have spent more of that time and money focusing on other items on the agenda? I am not sure you spend money on extra trade organization trips when you have made the moves to cut spending as GGG has. Is this why GGG didnt have any news for 3 months, because everyone was at Trade Organizations?

Also, I noticed that at least one individuals executive salary went up by $110,000. Did other salaries go up as well? Would this be fair to the shareholders if folks took a share for pay plan, but then received a raise...Hope you see where I am going with this.

Anyway, I am just asking questions. I dont have too much concern over this as I am buying more shares today, but just wanted to get some discussion going.

Cheers,

Realty
