Friends and clients of VAM Drilling, Following the loss of a few days of operation due to the disruption of hurricane Ike, we are pleased to confirm that the Houston manufacturing facility is once again operational. We have experienced some difficulties with both our computer and electrical system. But, we now have dedicated personal on station to provide a continuing communication service. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make every effort to meet our commitments.   For all of you who have experienced loss or difficulty during this past weekend we wish you the very best in your recovery. Thank you,   Steve Williamson, President VAM Drilling
