exceptional commitment  to Metro.  They  have all  made  considerable
contributions to the  growth and development  of the Company.  Steve,
Rob, Sakari and Jan have  all been instrumental in the  establishment

are therefore an important part of Metro's history. They will all  be
missed and never forgotten. I wish them all the best for the future."
