Peter, "Given Eyelogic's current loss of profitability, a loss of our line of credit, and uncertain near term growth, the Board made a prudent decision to halt that quarterly dividend effective immediately," explained Rick Skauge, CEO of Eyelogic. "The Board will revisit the dividend policy when a more predictable profit picture develops."

Yes. Ukrainian-Canadian. Born in Canada but fluent in Ukrainian. Not so much in English.
I thought so, I'm Ukrainian-American and not fluent in either language. My birth name was Hryneczko, my father had it changed because no one here could pronounce it. Changed spelling to Hernesko, people still can't pronounce it. Took up genealogy and traced my ancestors. I'm a direct descendant of Zeus! Keep in touch, cousin.
