LEWIS BOOTH: If I'myour definition of a rock star, you guys need to get alife. Okay. I'm delighted tobe here, and I was just sitting on the plane last night rehearsingthe presentation. I thought, I'm really gladit's this year we're doing it rather than two years ago when Ibecame CFO, because two years ago it was just after Lehman Brothershad gone bankrupt, and we were really beginning to wonder what therest of the world was going to looklike.

So I'm going to try and take you through the turbulenttimes we've been navigating, actually for about the last five yearsfor Ford. Because we had our own turbulencebefore the world economy fell apart. I'vesimplified, I'm going to talk about the automotive companyonly. I'm not going to talk about how we keptFord Credit Finance, because frankly that's also been a prettyinteresting tightrope walk, but I couldn't cover all ofthat. I'm not going to cover selling Jaguar LandRover to Toyota and selling Volvo to Geely, because again that'sanother story.

So you know I'm just going to talk about Ford, and I'mgoing to present on behalf of not just the team I have working forme now, but also the team that was in place right after the startof the journey, including my predecessor, DonLeclair.
