OGB 2007 Annual Report

From Genunix

I have my draft here that I sent to Ben... I was waiting for Ben's additional comments before sending it out - but in the event he is unable to today, we can use this as our Annual Report. (this was derived heavily from the one you (plocher) sent out covering our first 6 months or so)
cheers,
steve
