Excerpt from recognition letter by President Kumar Visvanatha on June 28, 2002:
Dear Bill,
During the last eighteen months our senior management team has had to meet the challenge of managing the unforseen and dramatic downturn to the telecom industry. We have been constantly required to make the difficult decisions neccesary to reduce our operating costs to line up with our shrinking revenue stream. Throughout this period you have risen to the challenge, have constantly demonstrated your commitment to the company and provided strong leadership to guide our employees through these turbulent times. I wanted you to know your efforts have not gone unnoticed and have been very much appreciated.”
