'''Marc Triplett (moderator)''': First of all, I want to introduce to you the ladies that are at the table with me. To my immediate left is Ashley Leeds, Barry’s daughter. And sitting next to her is Linda Field, Barry’s sister. We are pleased to have them with us. In a few moments, they’ll be talking to us as well. Linda will make some comments after I finish some introductory remarks, then I’m going to ask those of you who will offer your thoughts and memories regarding Barry to come to the microphone that is up front there. We’re having this session taped, and I think that’s very appropriate and an important thing for us to do. Then after we’ve done that, I’m going to reserve ten minutes or so toward the end, because I know that Ashley will want to make some comments as well. We look forward to that.
