I agree with growth, but it was done too fast, and I don't think the town has the finances to support it.

First quarter combined ratio and net income were very solid and premium growth in new markets has been strong. Last fall we announced plans to enter three additional states in the second quarter of 2006 to further our national expansion strategy. I'm pleased to announce that we will begin operations in Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania in the second quarter of this year. These three states represent 15% of the total U.S. personal auto premium, bringing the percentage of the U.S. where we actively market to 45%.

The allure of the kind of blues that this town is known for is still here. If the crowd at one of these venues claps for me, that will be more satisfying than a venue in a large city.

What can you say about Allison? She played very well for us in the second half. She continues to prove what I think, that she's the best 2A point guard in the north.

I thought in the second half she showed why she is the best point guard in 2A, or at least in the North.

Our seniors have been an absolute joy to coach. They have been the foundation for this program, taking us to a school-record in wins. They have accomplished something that no other Lady Bombers team has in the history of this team. They have a lot to be proud of.
