We are pleased to have received an attractive price for this property, while keeping it in the Hilton Family as part of a franchise agreement.

We are pleased with the terms of this deal, which allows us to sell the resort at an attractive price, while having it remain a Hilton through a management agreement. We value our continued relationship with Highland Hospitality and are pleased to have them as an owner.

The Hilton is under contract, Richard Schlesinger is the buyer, and the price is more than $40 million,

I'm pleased with where the girls are at. We never beat Hilton Head, Prep or Beaufort last year in boys or girls, so we're moving forward.

Sometimes, you can get a really attractive piece of public property by trading it out. So, some land swaps have clearly been in the public interest, and you don't want to have a moratorium too long because you miss out on the ones that would be in the public interest.

We are very pleased with the growth and the way we are being received in the business community. We feel our 5 o'clock cut-off for deposits, state of the art technology, and outstanding Board and staff all contributed to our success.
